The only appropriate app I have at present is the free Meshmixer by Autodesk. It
has lots of mesh-repair tools for .stl files and other kinds of meshes, but I
have not yet learned how to use many of those features. And it can re-export the
file as .stl again. It hasn't been updated since 2021(?) but is still available.
There are a lot of instructional websites and videos out there for newbies; I
need to take a look myself.
