It's showing an error because Rinkeby Testnet is almost deprecated. Check this warning. Migrate your contracts and deploy new ones on Goerli or Sepolia. The only two testnets, developers will maintain after the merge.
Use Goerli from now on, It is the most recommended testnet rn. Goerli Testnet Faucet: https://goerlifaucet.com/

BTW I don't think that Rinkeby is deprecated fully. So as you said you are new, you can try to get some Rinkeby ETHs from here faucets.chain.link/rinkeby . Rinkeby authenticated Faucet has some of his own issues/bugs I think. It's showing me the same thing for the Gorli testnet ETHs request. So try Chainlink Rinkeby Faucet– DevABDeeAug 13, 2022 at 15:38
FYI Goerli is officially the only Ethereum testnet, Rinkeby and all other testnets are deprecated. +1 for https://goerlifaucet.com
