How does that work for a question asker? Can I revive an old question that I want a modern answer to?

As far as I know the original asker owns the question, so I, modern asker, can't edit it asking for a modern answer or de-select the selected answer for being now wrong or out of date.

Yes, you could for instance apply a bounty on an existing question asking for an updated answer.

The sorting has also been recently changed, to no longer strongly favor the checkmarked question the original asker back in the day liked.
