Is there a lang="..." attribute for Anglo-Saxon (English before the
Normal Conquest)? I tried a language tag search, but the closest I
could come up with was early modern English, 1500-1700. Anglo-Saxon
would be 1100 or earlier.
Does such a language tag exist? If so, where should I have looked to
find it?

Who knows? Anyone can write anything on any Wikipedia pages without
citing any sources.
The defined authority for 3-letter language codes says that “ang”
stands for “English, Old (ca.450-1100)” or (in French) “anglo-saxon”, which is probably what you are looking for.

Declaring some content as being in some language in HTML has generally
no effect on the universe, especially when it is some ancient language.

I had a brainstorm to look up infangthief in Wikipedia, and it was
identified with lang="ang". The W3C validator accepts that.
I'd love to know where Wikipedia got that language code, because I
must be using an outdated source, namely <https://r12a.github.io/app-subtags/>

That looks similar to the one at the Library of
Congress that Jukka posted a few days ago:

The Library of Congress is the designated authority for maintaining the
list of ISO 693-2 codes. There is no reason to consult or cite secondary sources, especially things like wiki pages; nobody is responsible for
them, anyone can change them at will, and there is no maintenance or verification procedure.
