It's a Genesis 1 with a 32X with Sonic & Knuckles in the cartridge slot. That game had a flip-top with a cartridge slot under it so other games (specifically Sonic 3) could be plugged into it for additional functionality. The Genesis 1 also had a connector on the side which was used to connect to the Sega CD unit (notably missing from this picture). It's a 30-pin connector so it fits into the 32-pin cartridge slot. And then plugged into the top Genesis is a copy of Bubsy, one of the worst games released for the system.
As to whether it "works", at best you would get Sonic & Knuckles booting as long as the Genesis plugged into it doesn't connect to or short any pins in the cartridge's slot.

The Sonic & Knuckles “adapter” was made to have Sonic 2 and 3 cartridges plug into it. It allowed adding knuckles to 2 and created an expanded version of 3 which completed the story. The 32X is an adapter that upgraded the 16 bit console to play 32 bit games. The side of the Sega console had a slot where a Sega CD (cd-rom drive) could plug in. Apparently the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge fits into it, or at least appears to.
