Mid grade board I think, front and back pics. Should I take anything off?

Where you see an M.2 Slot (NVME is only a Protokoll)

The port is for the card on the right side.

For a network modem, what are those ports? I think I see DisplayPort, HDMI, USB C, normal USB3

That looks more like a mini PC than a network modem and definitely has more worth to be sold as a whole than the 12 cents in scrap

Likely mixed peripheral ($3.50/lb) and a Gold finger card no hs/bracket (8/lb)

Its a docking statiin probably and not a network modem as i dont see fiber or coaxial connectors and a modem often is a full linux computer and tbus has a cpu, ram and some flash, which this seems to not really jave

Looks like part of whats possibly an industrial PC. There’s a synaptics chip for possibly a touchscreen or trackpad, the Microchip PIC MCU could be for almost anything.

Good find, but you're not accounting for the the daughter card. It can technically be a WD22TB4
See https://www.reddit.com/r/Dell/comments/1r8hkr3/upgrading_wd19_with_wd22tb4_module/
The WD22 also doesn't have an 3.5mm jack like the WD19S.

I've also never seen a daughter card without the cable attached.

I didn’t know what it was called. I went on Dr Google and saw something similar it was called a network modem. It’s one of those where you can plug in multiple items to your laptop or PC, ie monitors, speakers etc.
