Stem Angle Question

I'm looking at this bike to get back into riding since I was a kid. I've read about the model, Schwinn Prologue, and overall I believe it will fit my needs of something to get me started with room to improve on. I can't tell the year, but know its a late 80's bike (most likely) with 14 speeds and Shimano 600 everywhere and Mavic 700 wheels. I have not been to see it just yet, but will be going today or tomorrow. I have a few questions, however:

Is the stem angle weird? It seems awfully upward to me.

It's advertised as a 59cm bike, but best I can tell the Prologue came in 58cm and 61 cm. I haven't gotten a response on how it was measured, but I'm 6'4" and am hoping this bike wouldn't be too small. Would that be a reason the stem angle looks so open?

Thanks for any help!
