The yellowing makes me think it might actually be legit. (Although, if you know the chemistry, artificially yellowing plastic is not beyond the skills of a good forger.)
I saw a few pictures of the prototype in Nintendo Power. This looks nothing like those, but it looks "about right", for a Playstation developed device, at least. The back has so many components that it clearly wasn't how Nintendo would have designed it, but it looks exactly like what the very first model of the Playstation looks like. I'm sure the cart and disc have nothing more than test code on them.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
