That looks like my stove, it was here and almost new, I think, when I
bought my house 5 years ago. I don't love it; the burners heat unevenly,
aren't strong enough for very large saute pans and the oven doesn't stay
calibrated. The controls for the burners stink, they're not sensitive
enough, they don't adjust at all from, say, 9 to 8 or 7, then a sudden
drop at 6, or so. There's a hot spot on the side of the burner where
the opening is for the gas and it cooks things really unevenly.
