How could it be “rusty”? Rust is associated with iron.

the 26-cm-long yellow-brown sword That's just over 10 inches - not much of a sword. Perhaps they meant 26 in.

"Initial identifications found the 26-cm-long yellow-brown sword "That's about 10.24 inches long. Must have been some kind of midgets back then. ( Maybe Chinese centimeters are different.)

At 26 cm (.85 feet or just over 10 inches) doesn’t seem like much if a sword - maybe a dagger but no sword

A 3000-year-old bronze sword has been discovered in a local river by an 11-year-old child in east China's Jiangsu Province. Yang Junxi discovered the rusty sword on July 2 when he was playing near the Laozhoulin River in Gaoyou County.
Bronze does not rust
That is why it is used for outdoor statuary.
