I would like to know any, shall I say, "out-of-use" german words that may or may not carry connotations, like 'jawohl' or 'Fräulein'. And of course words that would sound somehow weird nowadays. I am doing this simply for fun and knowledge.

See german.stackexchange.com/questions/1437/… for Jawohl - it is just a normal word. See also german.stackexchange.com/questions/986/…

Jawohl. simply means Got it. It's not outdated. You may hear
Jawoll!
quite often if one acknowlegdes something which went well. For example, commenting a good move in a football game.
Fräulein is not used any more to address unmarried women. You may still hear it when parents address their daughter.
Ach, das Fräulein will wieder mal verreisen. – Ja, Papa!

There is such a lot of these words. I'll provide you the first two that came into my mind: wohlfeil
and feilbieten
. Enjoy :-)
