It can depend on the device you're using to browse the App Store. If 
you visti the App Store on the old device (assuming teh old App Store 
app itself is still compatible), you might see different options 
compatible with the older device than you would using a newer desktop 
computer. If you ever bought / downloaded an app, it could be in your 
account's purchased list to re-download.

Another option would be to jailbreak the iPad and then use another 
browser from somewhere other than the App Store. Although there are 
extra risks doing that.

OR, you can install a completely different operating system, such as 
Linux (for example: <https://ipadlinux.org>), but those are currently 
more "experimental" and kludgey than actually useful.

OR, just use it for other things such as an ebook reader, video / music 
player, etc.
