It was made by speck, yeah never heard of them either. Welp grandma some how managed to set a pin on her tablet. The problem I'm getting is when I select factor reset it just turns off.
 
Welcome to Android Central! Speck is the name of a well-known case maker -- are you sure you're not just looking at the name on the case?

So your grandma created a PIN and then forgot it?

When you choose the factory reset option from the Recovery Menu, does it ask for the PIN again?

Can you show us a better shot of that Recovery Menu? It doesn't look standard for Android devices, which makes me think there's a custom ROM installed on it.

You press the home key and it turns off or the power button after highlighting factory reset?

It might have a software or hardware issue being that old , can try flashing with Odin the stock firmware but you would need to find what firmware it's on and where to download like sammobile, I have a funny feeling that probably won't help but can try
