Cant find anything on it sadly.

looks like some (industrial / mainframe) memory expansion board.

Adding on to the above. those slots are SDR slots for PC66/100/133 RAM.

Here's what a 256MB stick of it looks like:

That's a memory riser board, likely out of some sort of a server. It's quite old.

Yeah, that's a memory expansion board for SDRAM. Probably from late 90s-early 00s. Wouldn't have been from a mainstream/consumer PC, would have been from a server, workstation, or mainframe.

No, though we are Unix-2038 compliant.

Honestly what i was assuming. Very interesting to be sure though, thanks. Was it really practical to do it like that?

Well, expand memory this way. I have no clue if it is still done in a similar manner nowadays, but using an expansion card to install more RAM just seems like a very impractical way to do it, back then and nowadays all the more so.
