If my memory was correct it's a portable VT100 clone.
DEC may have sold it at one time (but I don't think so).

They also may have used it as a Field Service maintenance tool on
RA series drives... Pure speculation... but possible.

Perhaps Polaroid Corp. still makes the batteries?
Give 'em a call -- they're up your way.
