Hi,
I don't think how many wires or colors you have in an outlet matters.
Just parallel move it over to the new GFCI outlet if you want to.
Typically bathroom, exterior outlets need to be GFCI. In addition,
in my house I have some in the sunroom/greenhouse.

If I do a parallel move, that puts from the backside:
red on the top left of "load"
white #1 on the top right of "load"
white #2 on the bottom right of "line"
green on ground

I did try this to satisfy my curiosity. I couldn't reset the outlet and
try anything; it was dead after turning on the breaker. I could have
connected something poorly, of course.
Hmm,
Wondering if that particular outlet is that of split one. Common thing
in ther kitchen. Top and bottom half are split and fed by different
breaker if that's the case. Like two circuits in one outlet. If it is
split one, looking from the side of outlet, the metal link
connecting'two halves is knocked off(missing)
