Seems like an old AP. It's a device that only sends out wifi and probably has 1 ethernet cable connected to it that provides both the ethernet connection and power with POE.

Nothing interesting and very common in businesses, schools and other similar places where a lot of people would use wifi in a small area.

It's one of the many magical boxes that allows you to have WiFi access throughout the building.

To put it simply, that is a wireless access point.

It's nothing too special. It's just a wireless Access Point.

It's a mail from Cisco addressed to SHS-E308-AP1 and it's taped to the ceiling.

It's a Meraki AP from Cisco, MR34 or MR32 probably

Why? There isn't anything we can do with a MAC address unless we're on the local network and we don't know where they are

except the fact there are services which index access points etc and store their locations so they can be used for positioning etc.
These often store the mac adress too and some of these services you can query for these addresses.
