What kind of keg is this

[CU_tony]

I am at a bar and I see the manager walk by with this keg.
Two sanke connections one of which looks broken and two other... Ports?

Is there a name and/or use for this bad boy?

It is used to clean the draft lines.

Ahhh, so it is!
The left two ports look like sanke connections, one at least. The other on the left looked like it is missing it's bearing. The two on the right I have no clue what they are

There are many different coupler types other than the typical D-type

 

[CU_tony]

Why are there so many different types? Just people trying to make money or are there any interesting features hiding in some of these connections?

That is a mutant alien keg trying to take over our world through the bodies of beer drinkers.
Only homebrew is safe.

This is called a pressure pot, used by draft techs who see many different beer couplers. With this pot, I could clean a Guinness, a normal D beer, and a Stella Artois without changing a coupler. Otherwise you have to spend time dismantling couplers and switching in D couplers. So the reason these pots have different connectors is simply to speed up cleaning at bars with a lot of different coupler types.
Tangetitally, I have a pot with only D connections. German bars are a pain because I have one spare D coupler, and three slide coupler beers to clean. Very trying to get them done in 15
