Not quite. It's an uncommon variant of the Model M which was made specifically for OEM resale.
I can tell you for a fact that that one is legitimate, and was originally sold with a Dell computer. That's the old, old, old Dell logo. Other companies which OEM'd Model M's include AT&T / Bell Laboratories (yes, both), Cube Computers, Lexmark (actual Lexmark branded - two variants), and a scattering of high end manufacturers that bought surplus unbranded.

But yes, that price is totally on drugs. Especially given the condition.
