It definitely needs new cables. But I'm wondering if the adjuster is broken or facing the correct direction? Or is there anything else that needs replacing. I'm a good mechanic but know little about bikes.
It appears the cable is unwinding right into the cable housing, which you need to correct first. Replace the cable and then follow the full adjustment procedure:t

Then, if not working let us know about any remaining problems
