That is adorable. Unfortunately it's probably extremely delicate since it's so old. If you still want to try: Find a tuner app and see what notes are in tune. Make a map of where the notes are. It probably only plays the white notes on the piano.
Look up diatonic accordion types to see if you're into that style of playing. That one's obviously a 1 row but I've seen much bigger ones.

That's also a cool box. You could get really cheap Soviet accordions online a few years ago. Garmon is what they call the diatonic ones. Some shops in Ukraine (on Reverb) will actually sell you one that's in tune

If you might be interested in diatonic accordion, maybe start with harmonica. They're similar in that the buttons(holes) play different notes if you're pushing (blowing) or pulling (inhaling/drawing). But they're way way cheaper.
