Okay, now I understand all the housefire memes.
The exhaust even smells hot.
Blow some compressed air in the fan slot or open it up to clean it manually. It'll either be the thermal paste needing reapplied to the cpu or a massive clog up of dust, smegma particles and cum.
those are some really old CPUs, and yeah, they overheat a lot... also, IIRC, those shitty laptops had problematic chipsets, so not even worth wasting time on them, not even in my 3rd world shithole
my suggestion, tell him to buy a new one. hell, cheapest ones are prolly faster than this one
The AMD E-300 is even worse. Dualcore at 1.4ghz and that shit caps at 100% in stock Windows 7.
Linux with Mate, opened up a browser, shit freezes, go into tty, htop, both CPUs topped at 100%.
They made some real shit in the past.

Laptop might also have shit or worn out cooling. See if you can clean out the innards and replace the thermal paste.

The chipset and cpu share one heatpipe on Turion notebooks usually. disassemble and remove the thermal pads. Replace with Arctic Ceramique or Silver. also take the fan assembly completely apart. its easy for blockages to hide inside the shroud.

I have an AMD A4-1200 (dualcore apu at 1ghz) which never went below 97% on Windows 8.1, it was even slower on Windows 10, it might as well not even worked.
Lubuntu is running at about 10% though lol.
I know intel isn't the nicest company in the world, but I'm going to avoid AMD's mobile processors from now on.

I mean neither was AMD before bulldozer brought them to their knees, still aren't really. Just wait, if ryzen gets them back on their feet they'll go full dickwad
