SD content on YouTube is blurry AF. If you use normal upscaling methods you either get a blurry or a blocky mess, computers can't do miracles. There are ways to disguise it a bit. For example, if something was done for CRT TVs you can apply a CRT filter over the upscaled video and the blurriness will even help preserve the original look.
