Looks like a parts bin special and will need a tune-up to get moving but decent around town bike for $50. Most obviously needs air in the tires if they’ll hold it, drivetrain looks dry and possibly rusty and it’ll need new bar tape, plus fix that insane seat angle.
If it’s your size $50 isn’t horrible

I remember this bike brand.This is from the late 1980s. Probably worth about 50 bucks but no more.

Early 80’s Nishiki. It’s on the entry level side, but not bad. The sticker indicates it’s built of double-butted Tange chromoly steel, which is a good thing, , but I suspect there are some caveats, such as just the downtube, seattube, and top tube being chromoly. Fork and seat/chainstays are likely a lower-end steel alloy based off of the claw-style derailleur.
