Default Replacing squirrel cage fan

I have an old 1959 bathroom fan that doesn't work anymore. In fact it
didn't work since before I owned the house. I'd like to replace it,
but I notice that the hole for it is circular and the fan vents into
the attic so far as I can tell.

So if I slice this puppy out, am I looking at enlarging the hole and
making it square, as well as installing vent to the outside world? Or
are there fans out there that will fit the hole? It's a 10" hole
right now.





Is it drywall? Is it textured?


Just painted drywall.
