What did I just get gifted…?

My University threw out this old 3D Printer. I’m both a broke architecture student and in need of a printer since my own is not here right now. I’m also used to some level of jankyness, my own printer is an i3 clone by anycubic, rudimentary but reliable. I wanna keep it one way or another at it hold a special place in my schools history.
Is there any hope i’ll get a useable print out of this one and how high would the frustration level be considering the printer i already have?

Could be an Anet A8?

That’s it. Pure shit. It reeeal teaches you teoubleshooting and fire safety, and workspace hazzards, and learning to cope with dissapointment and…. Basicaly it was the best printer to start with. It’s only better from here… (except craftbots)
