It depends on what's inside of it !

If the .SWF contains mere video frames or refers to a separate .FLV file, then you might be able to convert such content to a more common and standard video format and publish it online. In some cases (when the content is protected or encrypted) I used a screenrecorder tool to capture a video from the playing .SWF file.

If there's interactivity involved, then it's difficult (if not impossible) to deconstruct the .SWF content and republish it in a different format. If you can retrieve the original .FLA file, then you could open it with Adobe Animate (the new name of Flash) and republish most of it as HTML5.
