Raspberry Pi. The Pi 400 is especially close, with the same keyboard form factor and all.
It’s not as immediately programmable as the 8-bit micros were (hard to beat booting up right into a BASIC prompt for that), but Linux is still more tinkerable than most other devices you’ll encounter and the default Pi distro has a bunch of educational stuff preinstalled.
Using an old desktop that my dad had installed Linux onto had a huge impact on me in my formative years. I credit that for at least part of my career success.
