WS-116332-6 Error code, reported as "Lost" to Sony.
Functions fine for offline play, but no online capabilities with the PSN Store.

What good would that do? It's not like Sony sends them a replacement. That's a lot of work for nothing

Saying "lost" makes people more likely to contact Sony to try to resolve it.
A message saying "stolen" would get people to call the police.

Never heard of this, but quick Google says it's more so that someone was banned, not necessarily stolen. Would think it's tied to username, not physical hardware (MAC?).
Did you call them to validate why it was banned?
Anyway, looks like you can appeal it. Do you have any type of receipt or proof of purchase? This has to be a common scenario to Sony.

I wonder if you can call up support and say you bought it secondhand from a pawn shop, maybe they can put in some sort of waiting period. It seems really stupid to me that you could sell a PS5, then for some reason call up Sony and tell them it was lost and they'd just block it indefinitely off the network. If you've got proof of purchase, I don't really see a reason for them to just blacklist it forever.
Sorry I know this is off topic but I'm legitimately blown away by this concept. I'll behave. What were you thinking of selling it for?

Can this still get updates? So like the only thing that wouldn't work is always online titles, right? Or if FF16 had a weird "needs to check into servers before playing" thing. Like Doom Classic had for a while

You've had it for a few months and it is just NOW doing a ban??
Have you tried to contact the person/place you bought it from and told them? Seems to me they need to buy it back from you and then report to Sony that it is not lost... or report to Sony it's not lost to unblock it.
Either way, if you know who/where you got it from, go to them to make reparations or you can report they sold you stolen goods... IMO, even though it says "LOST" and Sony can't/won't do anything about it, technically it is stolen.

This should not be how it works imo. If it was stolen, there should be a police report put in place to make banning it from PSN a demonstrable reaction to someone reporting the theft of an item, if I can just call up Sony after selling the system and say it was lost to be spiteful, that's a stupid system and a dumb reason to ban it from accessing online platform forever. Obviously this is meant to push someone to just buy a new system (especially now that they're discounting them, they REALLY want them to move)

"Lost" is likely corporate lawyer speak. Sony would not be involved in a police report, and the police won't waste time on a relatively low dollar item unless it's delivered to them.
It's like when I had a large rebate stolen. It was highly likely it was stolen at a mail sort center. I knew the exact time, date and location where it was redeemed. It was a store I've never been to, and conveniently in the city where the mail sort center is that supplies our local PO. All the stores have cameras at entry and check-out, and it requires a signature to redeem (stupidly no id). I know I'll never see that money, but if it was PO employee they need to get hammered. Sadly there have been multiple PO employees fired for this exact thing in states nearby.
(Channeling my inner lawyer) I'm not saying this system is stolen.
