The upper antenna in the photo appears to be of an Antennacraft Y10713, designed to receive real channels 7 through 13 (high-VHF). The lower antenna appears to be an FM antenna but may have served as a low-VHF antenna (real channels 2 through 6). Neither antenna appears to be designed to receive UHF signals.
They do not appear to be in bad shape but the interconnection harness is questionable at best. The 'balled up' mass of wire is a likely source of impedance mismatch.
You're correct, a balun, aka matching transformer, would be needed to convert to RG-6 coax.
Without a link to your TV Fool reception prediction, we have no way of knowing whether these antennas would provide reception.
