That is Tomcat itself, at version 5.5. Leave all that stuff there.
Nothing should be copied to the new installation.

activation.jar is now included with your JRE. Well, it should be. What
version of Java are you running? If the answer isn't at least Java 8,
then you need to upgrade.
el-api.jar is supplied with Tomcat. At least, it's supplied with
modern, supported Tomcats. Another reason to abandon Tomcat 6?
Tomcat 6 is documented to support EL version 2.1 and your application
seems to need EL version 2.2 (or higher). Another reason to abandon
Tomcat 6?

That's good.
Have a look around your application to see if it will work.
If you followed my advice on using CATALINA_HOME versus CATALINA_BASE
and purging your conf/server.xml of extraneous garbage, it should be
trivial to simply *attempt* the same thing with Tomcat 8.5. Just
change the value for your CATALINA_HOME environment variable and see
what happens. Technically, the CATALINA_BASE/conf/server.xml needs to
change a little but it might actually start and your application might
actually work.
I really don't want you to waste your time 100% testing your whole
application on a version of Tomcat that isn't supported.
