This is what I'm starting out with. What steps do I need to take to make the effect? I've already isolated the number. I just put this here for you all's benefit..
Thanks in advance for the help!  

Guessing this is for some sort of 3D render (for a game ?)

I do recognise it as a Normal Map, and there are/were a couple of plugins around. InsaneBump was one (old & no longer works ?) but you can try the attached Windows version of MLBevelreflect. Unzip, put MLBevelReflect.exe in your plugins folder. It registers in Filters -> Map  It is 32 bit but does work with your 64 bit GIMP.

A bit of work required on your part. Colors -> Invert shows up all the artifacts, and you will have to add any embelishments.

   

In Win10 / Gimp 2.10.38 it looks like this, note the settings.
