        The Moz spam score is measured on a multitude of metrics, some of which are related to backlinks and some not. The fact that you have purchased an old domain that dates back to 2013 on web archive ( which although in itself is not negative), is possibly a factor that has contributed to tip over some flags.

        You can find the full list of metrics that Moz uses to calculate the spam score here:
        https://moz.com/help/link-explorer/link-building/spam-score

        You will need to analyze the factors listed there in order to work on improving your Moz Spam Score.

        On the other hand, the Moz spam score is a metric created by Moz and it doesn't necessarily represent how your site will rank on search engines. I suggest that you keep adding quality unique content and good backlink on your site, and I'm certain that as the time passes your site spam score will decrease.

            I agree with all that was said above and would add a couple of other points for you to check:

            1- Check if there are any "Manual Actions" on Google Search Console for the domain and if there are any, see what they're about.

            2- Check the backlink profile of the website using ahrefs, Majestic, SEMRush, MOZ, and see if there are any spammy domains. And if so, you'll need to disavow those domains through Search Console.
