check this domain on google if this domain is expired before that why it showing spam score 40. because last owner of this domain have make bad links on this domain that why it showing spam score 40

I agree with all that was said above and would add a couple of other points for you to check:
1- Check if there are any "Manual Actions" on Google Search Console for the domain and if there are any, see what they're about.
2- Check the backlink profile of the website using ahrefs, Majestic, SEMRush, MOZ, and see if there are any spammy domains. And if so, you'll need to disavow those domains through Search Console.

Thank you so much, Sir, for replying me, you really make me happy with this answer.
Thank you again.

The Moz spam score is measured on a multitude of metrics, some of which are related to backlinks and some not. The fact that you have purchased an old domain that dates back to 2013 on web archive ( which although in itself is not negative), is possibly a factor that has contributed to tip over some flags.
You can find the full list of metrics that Moz uses to calculate the spam score here:
https://moz.com/help/link-explorer/link-building/spam-scoreYou will need to analyze the factors listed there in order to work on improving your Moz Spam Score.
On the other hand, the Moz spam score is a metric created by Moz and it doesn't necessarily represent how your site will rank on search engines. I suggest that you keep adding quality unique content and good backlink on your site, and I'm certain that as the time passes your site spam score will decrease.

Unsolved Backlinks issues.
I am hoping this is the right forum to ask this question. But, I was looking at my backlinks and noticed that I had some go to a page that resembles my site, but had porn words on it. however, it would link to a place on my site. Under more information it has a real link to my site. What is this? I noticed the domain authority was in I believe the 70's; but PA was in 40's. I am new, so can someone explain this. Thank you. example below:

Links to Your Site: No Data Available in Google Search Console
The site I am working on did not have their site submitted to Google Search Console (formerly Google Webmaster Tools). I submitted the site and a sitemap that auto updates. Google is crawling the site daily (about 30 pages a day). Under Search Traffic > Links to Your Site it shows no data is availible. I thought it was because it was a newly submitted site, but it has been two months now. Moz seems to have the same issue. Moz does show inbound links, but their are some that we think should really help us that are not shown. For instance, the Dallas Morning News wrote this article. They have a high DA and PA. Also, iliveindallas.com has an article about us that is still on the front page. That was a few weeks ago but also does not show up on Moz or Google SC. We are trying to be selective about the links we are getting. That they are follow links from reputable sites. Worried that both Google and Moz are not showing them.

Page Authority is the same on every page of my site
I'm analyzing a site and the page authority is the exact same for every page in the site. How can this be since the page authority is supposed to be unique to each page?

Keyword Difficulty Score Not Available
What exactly does this mean? That the service is down? Or the score will never be available? It seems like I get that and then the tool gets stuck and I get no other data.

Why do some sites have a higher Page Authority than Domain Authority in OSE??
Hi, I have noticed when using OSE and enter a domain you very often see a higher Page Authority than Domain Authority. If someone could explain why this would happen then I would be very grateful - its my current understanding that page authority would ALWAYS be LESS THAN Domain Authority but that is not always the case (I have seen cases where PA is more than 10 higher then DA) Here's an example where PA > DA http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links.html?site=www.primelocation.com Thanks
