A Google search for 'open office spell check highlights every word' led me to this forum thread from 2012:
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=56074

It points to a trouble-shooting procedure:

The bottom line in that user's case was to reset the user profile. If you don't know how to do that, there are explicit instructions toward the end of the thread.

Does this help in your case?

Dear Sir / Madam,
Yesterday I opened a document that I have been working on for some time now and 
found that, for some reason, every single word (in UK English) has been 
underlined in red by the Auto Spell Check. I have gone through the help 
instructions and ensured that all settings are set to English (UK), so this 
cannot be the problem. I can of course turn the Auto Spell Check off, but then 
I won't know if I've spelt anything incorrectly.  I even tried opening a new 
document to see if it would do the same on that, and it did. I also tried 
downloading the latest version of your product, same again.Any ideas why it is 
doing this all of a sudden when the day before, having saved my document, it 
was fine? It's almost as if it's suddenly basing everything on a foreign 
language dictionary.Any assistance for would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,Feral Hassan
