I have this old spinning reel but dont know if this line is enough. Does it look good or should I replace it and add more. (I have no idea how much is currently on it or how long it is)

If it’s old, absolutely replace all of it. It’s under spooled as it is.
If it’s within a year old, you could just add more line too it using various knots and fill it up. You should have enough line that roughly almost fills under the spool to “have enough”. Each angler has different opinion about this. I roughly leave about a 16th of an inch gap from fill personally. You can Google and find videos of a deeper explanation. But like I said, if it’s over a year old just get some new line. It’s cheap, and won’t have that annoying memory when you cast it.
