It's a wired model. Model A1048, to be exact. I think I first called
it an A1049.
This thing has so much accumulated grunge that it's going to have to
be disassembled to clean it. And I will be sure to photograph it first
so I get all the keys back where they belong!

CAUTION: Other Apple keyboards can be disassembled and cleaned
basically the same way, except for the newer “Chiclet” keyboards
with a flimsy metal top frame glued to a white plastic bottom. It’s
impossible to take those apart without melting keys or distorting
the aluminum. I know, I’ve tried and failed. More than once.
What I’ve done with mine is: Remove the batteries if it’s a wireless
model dampen a paper towel with a little Formula 409 cleaner HOLD
THE KEYBOARD UPSIDE DOWN, and gently wipe the keys clean. If you
want you can follow that with a similar wipe of a paper towel
dampened with isopropyl alcohol, then with it STILL upside down
place it on a couple folded paper towels to blot off any remaining
liquid. Works pretty well, I’ve not killed one yet and I've been
using those keyboards for years now using this method. The key is
making sure it’s upside down the whole time so fluid doesn’t get
into the keyboard.
This also works with Mac laptops as well, albeit a but more clumsily.
