List of steps to reproduce (step by step, including full links if applicable):
What happens?:
This page appears in "Pages proposed for translation" section in Special:PageTranslation
What should have happened instead?:
It should not. Translate does not work at there.
Software version (if not a Wikimedia wiki), browser information, screenshots, other information, etc.:

According to action=info, the TimedText page has content model wikitext. This is wrong, the SRT files are not wikitext. There’s a content model text, either that or a custom content model should be used. Since T163254, switching to a non-wikitext content model should automatically disable Translate on TimedText pages.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone actually wants to translate subtitles using the Translate extension, though I would not recommend it. There should be better ways, though I am not aware of any.
The French translation of TimedText:MediaWiki Translate Extenstion Tutorial 1.webm.en.srt should be at TimedText:MediaWiki Translate Extenstion Tutorial 1.webm.fr.srt, not TimedText:MediaWiki Translate Extenstion Tutorial 1.webm.en.srt/fr, so the Translate extension doesn’t work anyway out of the box. (It may be a good idea to support it, but that support probably wouldn’t require <translate> tags.)

No longer.. they used to be, sort of, broken and partially (links, bold, italic etc). This was changed when we switched to serving VTT subtitles, but the content model stuff etc still needs an overhaul.
