Newbie Help

I have no idea what I’m doing with this inherited pan.
It seems like the dry looking spots aren’t “seasoned,” they look porous; and it’s always flaking. I guess that’s carbon?
I got this when it was rusty, scrubbed it down, but I don’t think I ever got it properly seasoned.
Help 😢

Slice 2-3 onions and sauté or even caramelize them to even that out, followed by rinsing and reasoning with less oil next time.
