I noticed a character on the armory who has a cloak which requires level 39. I looked on the Ah and found the same cloak listed twice except one required level 56 and another required 60! Wtf? So confused. I’m trying to find BiS for 39 but have no idea where to look now.
Level scaling.
Any more info? Does that mean the same cloak can drop at any level? Still confused.
Yes.
The stats, and hence item level, will differ depending on the level of the person for whom it drops.

So I can’t farm a required level 39 cloak if I farm on my 120 because it will drop a required level 60?
Edit: Also, I noticed the character Crítz@Aerie-Peak has a “Feathered headdress” which is Epic but Wowhead says it’s Uncommon. What’s with that?
Probably something-forged. There are no real items left in the game, just like there are no real NPCs.
And yes, if you farm it on a 120, it will drop at the top of its available range, as for a level 60.
It’s not something-forged either. It’s a BoE item too, random world drop.

is wearing pure boost gear.
Dude, wrong character. Copy the one I mentioned.
Sorry, it’s US.
It depends on the lvl of the character who had it drop for them. The higher the lvl they were, the better stats it would come packing with.
Are you viewing the right edition of wowhead? Sometimes when I am looking for a retail item or npc and I click on the wowhead link in my search results in the search engine it for some reason takes me to the classic version of that item or npc instead and I have to make switch manually to the retail version.
I am looking at the right Wowhead, why can nobody explain this to me? Why is the game so broken that regular players don’t even have a clue what’s going on! I want to come back but if they’ve made the system so convoluted and confusing, why should I? In simpler times “Item X” had THESE stats and required THIS level, why on EARTH is that not a good system?
The irony is that most current players use heirlooms for levelling in any case so scaling item levels only really help very new players or players starting fresh which don’t have access to them (joining a guild with looms unlocked is a good idea for new/return players btw). Scaling therefore often defeats the purpose for items that are equipped in loom slots.
Why ? Because leveling was even more broken before
Now with scaling any quest or dungeon reward will scale to your level so every piece with the right stats is your bis.
