Garden variety 10 speed is a good way to describe it. Try not to spend too much money on it, but it looks like your rear wheel and all the running gear are pretty far gone.

For instance, the freewheel is likely permanently frozen and rusted to the rear hub, the rear derailleur is likely too rusted to save, obviously the chain is gone, although the crankset (if you manage to get it off the bike) might be rehabbed by a nice long soak in oxalic acid...

The list goes on. If you are determined to resurrect this frame, look for a cheap donor bike on Craigslist that has all the parts you need.

Is it the right size for you to ride? If so, it may be a nice project to take on in the spirit of mechanical self-education, but any money you put into it is basically lost.
