That is not a prototype of the original Mac. That is at best a prototype of a Macintosh Classic II.
Correction: that is a prototype of a Macintosh Classic. You can see the RAM expansion card that gives it 2 MB, and while the case has a port hole for a microphone you can tell that the logic board doesn’t have a mic input.
