Line and Load Reversed at a GFCI

GFCI is tripped, but there's still power - WHY?

[ezwa]

so how ‘older’ are these types of gfci’s that are worth less then nothing(because they not only do nothing, but pretend to do something) ?🤔. how old & is there a way to spot them? should I phrase that worth less then worthless? & btw. maybe you know, on a relatively new home depot gfci, if there is a short, with a perhaps dangerous surge, on the OTHER side, sending surge BACK to & through, would THAAT surge trip it ?(this is all 3 questions not 4, ignore the word clever question 3)👋
