It's a time trial frame from the mid 1980s, before the UCI insisted that we all sit behind the BB. There was a fad for getting very forward so that you could get the trunk more horizontal without excessively closing the hip angle. Although this was predominantly exhibited in the triathlon arena, it is unsurprising that some road riders also experimented with it on their TT bikes. I can't find a pic of it built up, but I would expect to have seen a track stem and deep drops.
