Unless you're very technically minded, don't attempt to take them apart. They're a lot less forgiving than the models from the years prior. Just a couple years before this model, Apple transitioned to gluing the glass to the body rather than use the clever magnetic attachment method you could use suction cups to remove. That, and tolerances are much tighter and disassembly is a massive pain if you're not accustomed to it.
Apple stopped providing OS revisions to Intel-based Macs in September last year with Tahoe. The current assumption is they will provide security updates for a few more years, so if you want a low-end, slow iMac that's likely to be nearly useless in 3 years, go right ahead.
You're so much better off getting an official refurbished product from Apple direct. Yes, the cheapest is a Macbook Air M4 w/ 16GB RAM for $760, but that's one hundred times the machine of one of these old iMacs, and you should receive updates and support from Apple well past 2031. Those M4 Macbook air models were released just over a year ago, so it's still very much a current machine, and they're a much faster machine than the new Macbook Neo, and with double the RAM.
