should be the two pics. Thank you.

It looks from the label like it's an old fixture that may not have had a ground screw. It would be easy to drill a hole and screw a ground screw into the fixture.

It's probably from 1994.

So on this site, https://dfarq.homeip.net/connect-a-2-wire-light-fixture-without-ground/ it says

Examine the metal box

Assuming the electrical box is metal, take a look at the box. Frequently the metal box itself is grounded. If the Romex wire coming into the box appears to have a metalized surface, that surface probably serves as a ground. I’ve also seen boxes where the ground wire is looped back so it’s touching the box but not actually present in the box.

While you can’t necessarily assume every metal box is grounded, many are. If there’s a screw inside the metal box, connect the ground wire from the fixture to it. If not, look for a screw hole in the box. You can put a short 8-32 machine screw in the hole, then connect the ground wire to that screw.

Putting a screw in an electrical box can be a pain. I find a magnetized screwdriver helps. If you don’t have a magnetized screwdriver, try using a small piece of tape to secure the screw to your screwdriver until you thread the screw into its destination.

Last and least, if there’s no screw present in the box to connect a ground wire and no place to put a screw, here’s a workaround. Remove one of the long screws that holds the fixture in place. Thread an 8-32 nut onto the screw. Replace the screw. Wrap the wire around the screw, then cinch the nut down to hold it.

and Im wondering if this is what was done prior and I should do now?

Still looking for some advice please!

You appear to have a metal box, correct? If so, there should be a threaded hole in the box ready to accept a ground screw. You would loop the ground wire from the cable clockwise around the ground screw and tighten it down. Since you have a metal fixture base connected to a metal box with metal screws, that should complete the ground. Alternatively if you want a slightly better ground, you would drill a hole in the base of the fixture, tap it to receive a ground screw, and attach a 6“ bare copper wire to it. Next, you would attach a 6” bare copper wire to the ground screw in the box. And then you would wire nut these two 6” ground wires to the ground wire in the cable.

Two observations:

1) if you’re not sure, you need to confirm that you have a grounded wiring system in your house and that the ground wire for the cable in the fixture box goes all the way back to a proper ground at the breaker box.

2) if any of this doesn’t make sense, or is beyond your skill set, get help from someone who knows what they’re doing as you’re messing with electricity here.
