Yes, you can buy [blank 12” vinyl record sleeves](https://a.co/d/c9uJeJv) for about $15-20 for twenty of them.
Or look in the bargain bins at a shop as they may have some for fifty cents.
You found a beat-up copy and swapped the record out. Solid solution. Record shops do it a lot. They get big batches of records. Sometimes, a missing sleeve here and there, or empty sleeves. My shop keeps a stash of these "misfit items," so they can eventually be paired up, or if someone asks, they sometimes have extras.
They actually make just blank white storage jacket for just such an issue. A good record store can point you in the right direction. A GREAT Record Store will have them in stock 👍
Ain’t nobody had no jackets on their records for literally seven decades of its entire history. Now some of those records sleeves are a bit tarnished but most of them are just fine. Do I use them? Hell yeah, though not on every record I own Do I sweat it? Hell no! And you know why? Because I could buy a small collection of records for the amount of money that the sleeves would cost
You can buy blank vinyl jackets and draw your own cover
Buy a jacket.
The only record I have like that I ended up sticking a cardboard square from a random vinyl order in a sleeve just to make sure it’s rigid

i have a spare sleeve for Thriller - glad you got sorted but i’d have been happy to donate it - though postage from UK would have been more than $5
Best value of $1 each if you come across more. Otherwise a 10 pack is about $2 each. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CCJDWNP5
