Passive Verb + Object + Preposition
"There's more to say; this sentence has been done a lot of things to."
I'm not familiar with this type of passive construction. Can we convert the sentence into active voice? Can someone show me more similar examples?

As Chris said, the example is not grammatically correct and you need to make his recommended changes.
However, to answer the other part of your question, if you want to convert this sentence into active voice, you need to have a subject performing the action.
For example:
She has done a lot of things to this sentence.
In this case, the subject (she) is performing the action (has done).

What Chris said. If you saw this sentence somewhere, whoever wrote it was incorrect. :)

Your example is not grammatically correct.
"this sentence has had a lot of things done to it"
or
"a lot of things have been done to this sentence"
