When you open an existing post after you’ve switched to the block editor version of WordPress, you’ll notice that the post is not converted to individual blocks, but appears in a single Classic Editor Block with a familiar toolbar and options.

How to Create a Classic Editor Post
Once you’ve added your title, you can click on the classic icon to add a Classic Editor button.
Or you can click to add a block and search by typing Classic Editor in the search bar.
