I'm about to do a 400 mile DC-Pittsburgh ride on a 1985 saddle that looks JUST like that one. I have mine angled down a little, though.
The '80's low bars is a matter of riding style. People had the bars up a little more and rode in the drops more often. At least I did. Modern bikes are shiftable from the fat, comfy hoods of the STI Brake/Shifters so the bars can go lower, with the drops (IME) only for sprinting or getting down out of a headwind.
You can angle the bars however you like. Moving the location of the brake hoods will be necessary with any major change, with the resulting need to replace the bar tape.
Looking at your photo, those bars look pretty OK to me. You may wish to raise the stem -- the bike may be a smidgen to small for you.
I moved the bars that way lol. When I got it they were set up with a downward angle.
