It's 64 cm centre-to-top. Top tube is 58cm, head tube 21.5 cm, so it's a tighter racing frame rather than a more relaxed touring type.
This was a common top size before mass production made it uneconomical to serve the tall minority. I'd say it would be perfect for you. You could try the traditional sizing method: measure your inside leg length, crotch to floor -- the seat tube length you want is somewhere between 65% and 69% of that, depending on riding style and how long your legs are compared to the rest of you.
