Old house built in the lat 60's has these shitty rectangular fans in the bathroom with lights, problem is I can't seem to find anything that would fit the holes here
They are about 16x9" and most stuff I can find is square or a wonky kind of almost rectangular but not quite shape
Should I just get a square fan light and patch around it or what?

It is likely that the this is only attached to a joist on one side. You could easily expand the hole on the side that is just drywall to fit a square fan. Or, as you suggested, get a fan that fit inside the original hole and patch any part it didn't fill.

You could run a duct from the hole to a fan mounted above it but you'd have to build an enclosure up there. My only concern with fitting one in that hole is that it may be too small. But it's worked this long so maybe not, idk.

reminds me of my bathroom. just like what this guy said >>2978640 it was nailed to one joist with room for a bigger enclosure and i had to cut a bigger hole. does your fan actually vent outside? lol the original one didnt and i was complaining to my dad about it and he was like thats what they did sometimes. putting a vent and the pluming for that was a shitty surprise

Get yourself a nice Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer. I would recommend the 9000 series. They never make a mistake, or so I've heard.
