New shifters, new bar tape, new saddle if you want. You're good to go.

Those wheels are alloy. Unless they're bent, there's no need to replace them. I'd start off with adjusting the bar position, new bar tape, and a new saddle-- the saddle is going to be your most important upgrade, because you will need to be comfortable on it. Tune it, lube it, replace the tires and tubes, and true the wheels, and you're good to go.
You've got a good, solid bike in excellent condition, and for only $25! Congratulations!
