I saw that それて何 has the same meaning as それが何 but I'm not sure how. What is the usage of て in this sentence?

1I'm pretty sure what you saw was それって. – aguijonazo Sep 10 '22 at 16:02

Do you have more context? Is what you see a complete sentence on its own? – broccoli forest Sep 23 '22 at 15:39

I'm sure the one you saw is それって何。 って is a colloquial version of the particle は or the quoting particle と. So, それって何 is the vernacular version of それは何。
Other examples where って replaces と or は in speech:
あのラーメン屋はめっちゃ美味しかったね
あのラーメン屋ってめっちゃ美味しかったね
彼が「だめ」と答えた
彼が「だめ」って答えた
