There are also Sheet Metal features flattening which is in core SolidWorks.

That is not a surface, that is part with Mass. Attached is how you flatten a surface.
Since you do not have flat face, you cannot use convert sheet metal on your part. My suggestion, is that you try offsetting a surface @ 0.0, and using the Flatten surface command like I did in the attached file. (Version 2017)
