But, yes, I would recommend conditional Baptism / Confirmation and then Ordination for any priest baptized in the Novus Ordo, and just Baptism / Confirmation for anyone else baptized in the NO.  I've stated that here.

Ladislaus,  if the priest was ordained prior to 1950, would you recommend the conditional Baptism?

I don't understand.  He would have been baptized presumably in the 1920s when Catholic Baptisms were highly reliable

Not quite.  Valid Holy Orders is not required to validly administer the Sacrament of Baptism.
What is the case with Matrimony?

…Mormon? invalid, unconditional/absolute Baptism.…

I am unfamiliar with Mormon rites. What is their baptismal rite?

I don’t recall exactly where I heard this, but someone was reviewing a videotape of the baptism (which I’m guessing was done sometime and the 90’s), and saw/heard that the priest did the “we” form instead of “I”.  This person brought this tape to her priest, who after viewing conditionally baptized her. Or at least that’s how I remember it.

Regarding baptisms in general, and especially those done outside the Church, I have found this to be a decent guide: https://www.dosp.org/wp-content/uploads/9_3.-Valid-and-Invalid-Baptisms.pdf
