That's most likely an IBM System/23 (or a 51x0?) I'm not terribly
familiar with them beyond recognizing their shape. But anyway, I'm sure
you could use it as a terminal IF it has an RS-232 port and IF you can
either get or write some terminal software for it. Which goes for just
about any PC in existence.

You may have a full card set for it in all the S-100 boards you took
from the pile. What cards did you get?
