Technically it's not a "Freehub" 'cause that's a Shimano trademark.

The bad news is that it is Sun Tour's equivalent, a cassette type hub.

The worse news is it isn't compatible with anything except Sun Tour cassettes, which have not been manufactured since 1994.

Sorry to tell you, you're S.O.L. and you need a new wheel. That one's a total loss.
