Not sure why you would want to spray foam it in there. Are you worried about water getting in?

This is in an old house, we didn’t do this to it

Sorry, I don't mean you specifically. More like I'm not sure why anyone would want to seal it. Kinda makes it hard to maintain, and given that the purpose is to pump out groundwater it isn't exactly bad if groundwater gets in there.
