If its in good condition it will be fine, but might depend on your goals and what speakers you use, etc. Personally 35 year old receivers I'd not bother with unless it was free or something.....

With no HDMI connections, an AVR that old is almost worthless. You can't use it with currently released AV products.

it is too old to be any use as video receiver, so it now is essentially an audio receiver. I personally would not give an old AV receiver like that the time of day. If you want on older receiver then you need to be looking at audio receivers and not AV ones. I agree with Verinut, that unit is worthless and certainly worth less than a good audio only receiver, that might be even older.

I will sound better than OK, it should be transparent, if in top operating condition, based on the published specifications. Its 80 W specs is believable based on info on the service manual, and should have good current capabilities to drive 4 ohm speakers if used within its limits. Distortion/noise specs is comparable to today's mid range receivers, better than many so called integrated amps.

Agreed, thanks, I trust vintage Denon & Sansui….

FWIW it is only an old 2ch receiver, not an avr.
