What does "dead" in that table mean? I see a lot of games marked this way,

Dead means "no upstream release in 5 years"

that definition is simply broken
if it ain't broken don't fix it

no idea why people these days always think everything needs massive change sand new releases each week to be fresh (and buggy all the time)

you need learn to accept that software reaches the point where iot is just *read yand finished* just because it does what it is supposed to do and needs ntohing fixed or changed all the time

If I add appdata files to packages marked dead, will that make them
available in the software center? Or ... ?

Yes, that shows you care as a packager and allows you to "rescue"
otherwise unloved applications

who are you to define if an application is "loved"

there are likely users who love it longer than you appeared with the appdata idea at all and install, upgrade it with no need for any shiny interface
