Yes, it is very steep, steers like a track bike (induced by the steep headtube angle and a small fork rake) but likes to go straight as well (thanks to the long wheelbase).
From what I know 1975 was the only year that Peugeot produced the
PR-10 with this geometry, I think I remember the headtube angle being 76°. Looks a bit odd, but works well.

I don't think so. The breaks' adjustments show that it was obviously constructed for 700C-622.
Just an effort in a "new" bike geometry, I'd say.
But bear in mind that the wheelbase on smaller frames is not as long as on this one, so it seems the outcome is also connected to the tall (64cm) frame.
