The backports kernel is going to be easiest to install. If you're need any nonfree firmware packages or dkms drivers, it's best to update those at the same time from backports. Any newer versions of those are backwards-compatible with the standard 4.9 kernel, which you should keep as a backup boot option.
I've gotten pretty good at backporting the Sid kernels myself...I leapfrogged stretch-backports today to 4.17.14:

Then it can only be weird artifacts caused by your hardware. You have mentioned it's an old system.DirkusMaximus wrote:And no, that didn't straighten up the graphics glitching either.
I don't think this is software problem.
