I'd imagine at one time this was a perfectly good bike for a casual rider. Too bad it wasn't taken care of at least so it could be donated. Such is life, I suppose.
Thanks Again & Please Enjoy This Day!

You may be able to get an adjustable wrench on the top of the seat post.
But, the safest thing may well be to find an old "junk seat" and mount it temporarily to give you something to twist. Then if that doesn't work, look for something more aggressive.
