Ramparts are a military fortification. It is the top of fortifications that house cannon. So the song is referring to seeing the American Flag still waving over the top of a battle site.

Which of the above words would you consider to be old fashioned words that aren't often used anymore in the star spangled banner?

Since I don't have the specific words you're referring to, I can provide a general answer. In "The Star-Spangled Banner," words like "gleaming" or "ramparts" might be considered old-fashioned and less commonly used in contemporary language. Phrases such as "o'er" (over) and "spangled" also reflect a more archaic style of English that isn't typically found in modern songs or everyday speech.
