How can we know what the Sun was like well before the age of telescopes and scientifically accurate instruments?
The Earth itself is an instrument!
In particular, the trees and ice sheets act as an old directory full of archived data and records.
They ARE the observatory.

A 5-million-year-old sunlike system may host exocomets carrying water inward. Sodium gas near the star appears and disappears over several nights, consistent with comets crossing the inner system. doi.org/hchhnj
Young sunlike system reveals comets may carry water toward forming planets
Astronomers at Lund University in Sweden have found evidence of exocomets—comets in other solar systems—orbiting a young star similar to our sun.
