Weak overpair versus slightly unusual sizing
2/3/5 seven players, $1000
CO is a quiet older man who doesn't play a ton of hands, though I haven't been at the table very long so I'm not sure
8c8d LJ
Raise 15, CO raises to 35, folds back to me, call
Flop 5c5h2c
I check, CO bets 50
Raise/call/fold here? And is there a case for donking flop?

How deep are the stacks? You both have $1k? What position are you in?
I'm out of position, he has about 600
This seems like you’re no good. I would fold. Calling and raising are both not appealing.
Okay, so...you're deep enough to call the 3B pre and set-mine.
OTF, he's c-betting around 2/3 pot on this low, paired, two-tone board. Doubtful he'd 3B pre with 66 or 77, so you're only beating his un-paired over-cards.
If he c-bet around 1/3 pot, I might peel, and check again on turn, to see if he barrels or shuts down. But when he bets 2/3 pot, it seems like he has a hand he's betting for value and protection, so I'd probably just fold.
I would fold to the 3bet and fold now as played.
That's true, I pretty often get into big multiways with opens of this sizing. Thinking about going up to 20 or 25. Some players at these games do 30 for everything, and others occasionally go bigger.
What happened in this one?
