The final retail Macintosh Classic used an iconic beige plastic, so it is rare to see one with a clear casing. This allows it to show off many of the Macintosh's internal parts, such as its nine-inch CRT monitor. It also highlights just how much empty space there was within the Mac.
DongleBookPro did not share any further information about the machine, but Apple has been known to prototype its devices using translucent casings, such as for the Apple Newton or the Macintosh Portable M5120. These prototypes with clear casings are very rare and fetch high prices when they come to auction.
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.
