It should show up under This PC in Windows Explorer as "Kindle Scribe". It will not have a drive letter assigned, and there is no associated safe eject option available as you would have if it mounted as USB Mass Storage (which Scribe does not do: it connects as MTP device).
You do not even need to use Disconnect on the Scribe unless you no longer want it to appear in Windows Explorer (or calibre) and just want it to charge battery: you can just disconnect the cable, and nothing bad will happen.
It can take awhile for the 2022 Scribe to show up in calibre because /system/thumbnails can have many files in it (for both for your library and recommendations in Kindle Store). Calibre has to get list of all files in internal storage before it can show the ones of interest. The 2024 Kindles do not show /system in internal storage so are much quicker to show up, as the complete list of files is significantly shorter.
It's still unclear to me why calibre could not find it. If it shows as a device in Windows Explorer, calibre should see it as well. But again, you need to give it time.
