Being an user of ancient hardware, too, I’d first check what kind of graphics card you have. Perhaps, it is still supported by the 390 driver. For that one, we have the linux515-nvidia-390xx and nvidia-390xx-utils packages available in the Manjaro repository.
If you need the 340 driver nevertheless, the best you can do is at first completely following the tutorial for getting that driver for kernel 5.10 at [HowTo] get legacy 340xx NVIDIA drivers back
Once you have verified that you are able to build the driver according to the tutorial, it is time to try to apply the patches from AUR (AUR (en) - nvidia-340xx-dkms).
Then, download all the kernel patches from AUR to your nvidia-340xx-dkms directory. Also, patch PKGBUILD there like below:

Afterwards, run makepkg again. At least, I was able to get the driver compiled that way.
UPDATE
As the driver 340.108 also works on my GeForce GTX 560, I have tested it with kernel 5.15 and got it working after the usual ABI workaround for Xorg (create a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia.conf with the following contents):
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "IgnoreABI" "true"
EndSection

I was also able to compile 340.108 against the kernel 5.16 headers.
