Greetings and a request for advice!

Greetings C&V,

I'm a newbie to the forums and biking, but I'm finding these forums as a great resource. I hope you're all well!

I recently purchased an old Panasonic Sport-500 from a contact of a contact. I paid $100 for it and just had a couple of questions for you guys. Sorry if I've posted this in the wrong place.
  1. Did I get a good deal? It came with "Look" Clipless Pedals, an Axiom Computer, an additional sprocket on the rear cassette, Aero bars, and an Old Leather Saddle.
  2. What's the best way to go about Rust Removal? I tried some Steel wool and I felt like I made little to no progress

The former owner said he used the bike in college, had a friend complete a duoathalon (sp) on it, and used it as a trainer during the winter. Essentially it was a beater. But he supposedly put a lot of work into it as well.

Here are a handful of pictures:
