If you remove trivial errors for no space between attributes, table formatting, and use of "obsolete" inline styling instead of CSS it really isn't many. Could be cleaned up with a couple days engineering time or less.
I think most people could clean it up within a day, maybe two at most.
Whoever is currently maintaining the codebase has taken years. They have been making changes to the HTML of the site: SVGs were added for the voting arrows as the first example I can think of, so its not like its being left to languish completely. They just don't care.
