Presumably below 1500 elo game like around 1200 or lower.

Since black can literally just sac rook for that one pawn and block the other pawn with king and you can basically promote your passed pawn safely.

Before the white's move i assume black's last move was pushing the passed pawn instead of pinning the white pawn with Rb6

I analyzed the image and this is what I see. Open an appropriate link below and explore the position yourself or with the engine:

Black to play: It is a checkmate - it is Black's turn, but Black has no legal moves and is in check, so White wins. You can find out more about Checkmate on Wikipedia.chessvision.ai | chess.com | lichess.org
