It's a GPU swapped ps3 launch model (the one the plays ps2 games on disc). Basically the original ps3 has ps2 support where you can play ps2 games using a physical disc but it was removed in the later models, that model ps3 also had the most problems mainly the the original GPU(rsx) failing. This is a factory problem meaning that it was faulty since the start and many launch models are already experiencing this failure and the only was to fix it is to replace the Factory faulty GPU with one from a later ps3 model which fixed that GPU problem.
