It is a *terminal*. A legendary VT420 from Digital Equipment Corporation, no less!
Digital Equipment Corporation was manufacturer of computers such as PDP or VAX, see Accomplishments.

At 1988 this was THE computer to dream about. The fanciest machine you could ever dream about. This particular "little" machine has been singlehandedly controlling the operation in a steel factory for more than 10 years as a main control computer.

And please notice the logarithnic ruler (in English called properly the slide rule) cassualy sitting on the top. I can still use that analog computer.
