That's exactly what this looks like. It looks like someone glued an e-Ink display into an old ThinkPad T41.
Zoom in on the bezels in the up-close view: https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/61a133075b8ce58a48f1bed1/61e07ada0a1e7d4ea6f4a4eb_chassis-scaled.jpeg https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/61a133075b8ce58a48f1bed1/61e...
The southeast corner looks like there's a battery indicator half-covered up.
It even has a IBM ThinkPad logo and a "T41" in the corner and machine screws holding the screen together.
