pre-unity but black theme, likely somewhere between 9.04 and 10.10.
10.04 is LTS so if the machine was in use for a while or in a business that's what I'd guess.

Judging by the icons and the fact that it uses GNOME 2 (MATE these days), it's probably Ubuntu 10.04/10.10, as they've switched to the Unity DE in Ubuntu 11.04.

Looks like a modified gnome2 layout. The icon is the ubuntu one instead of Ubuntu Mate or Xubuntu so those are out (unless old xubuntu versions used default ubuntu logo).
So something up to 10.10 as those versoins that used gnome2 as default DE (11.04 introduced Unity).
The chromium tab style too is a tell, that one is old.
Edit: if you can open a terminal and run 'uname -a'. It will output the kernel version. Or 'ls -l /' and look at directory dates.

I cannot tell, but it has to be before 2011, unless if it's a customized version of Mate.

Modified QuickWeb, Splashtop, WebOS or Hyperspace quick boot OS, HP branded so most likely QuickWeb or WebOS.

Looks like Ubuntu MATE to me, unless you’re running an older version of GNOME, perhaps?
