If you're living in germany I would give away for free (excluding delivery costs) You need to find a computer/motherboard which offers the connector for it ! I guess it's less used, but old and last used ~30 years ago. Don't know it it's still running and - as said - if it's still here.

Re: 5-1/4 diskettes
If you have an old enough motherboard that has a floppy disk controller on it linux used to support them. At worst you might have to download an older livecd if support was removed in newer versions. (no idea if it was removed).
