None of these. It's a PowerPC 604e.

Being predecessor to the ones I mentioned so "quite old"?

Well, if you're interested in the exact timeline you may check out

In fact the Power2 is somewhat older than the 604e,
P3 came after the 604e.
For my stuff it was quite a performance jump from
the F50 (604e) to the 44P-270 (P3) although they run at
about the same clock rate.
