Likely an OEM version.  Perfectly legal, but not exactly according to the
terms of the agreement between Microsoft and the OEM.  It's intended to be
sold only as part of a new PC (the software that is pre-installed when you
buy a PC from a mass marketer).  You get the software, no manuals (plenty
of docs on the disk), and no support (the OEM is supposed to support it
after you buy the PC from him).  Office 97 Professional has been available
for some time at local computer shows around Chicago for around $50. 
Windows 95 (full install) can be had for a little less, NT 4.0 Workstation
has been selling for $75-ish. 

Mike Maguire unwittingly graced us with:
: How can you sell Off97 so cheaply?  Is the Enterprise release
: or Off97 w/ SR1?  How can this be legal software?  If it's illegal
: and you receive my email, then you've left a trail...
