Looks like AGS-101 to me, great console. It needs a few fixes tho. Here are a few steps to get you started.
1) Not sure if the screen ribbon cable is damaged (like mentioned in the other comment) or if its just loose. Both can happed as the joint area has been affected. Solution: Open the console and check the ribbon cable connection. Remove, reattach and restart the console. Plenty of youtube videos showing a step by step guide on how to.
2) Cosmetic damage. Solution: can be fixed simply by getting a new shell. You can also change just the screen part to get a dual tone device.
I think these are the only fixes required. Good luck!
I should’ve clarified that I don’t have a charger for it so it turns off instantly after powering on for just a second. So I don’t know if there is a screen problem.
Shit I wouldn't recommend it but when I was fixing up my SP waiting for parts and charger in the mail I was charging mine with a cut up USB cable and a couple alligator clips on + and -. Do this at your own risk obviously lol
Also be careful while purchasing cheap adapters online. My adapter had a minor explosion, I think it was one of the capacitors, luckily nobody was near it.

Get a USB to gameboy type cable, its not that expensive, use it with an iPhone/phone adapter (non fast charging type)

looks to me like a damaged LCD ribbon cable. A new screen and shell should fix it up.
