check for frame damage as best you can then....

My guess is that the Shimano derailleurs were installed because they shift far better than the Campagnolo derailleurs of the same era. It was very common for bikes to have a mix of components at that time, especially if they were built up from a bare frame
That bike is filthy, present owner gets an F- for presentation
