It's almost certainly late 50s-early 60s. The linoleum tiles on the floor are a dead giveaway. And it's 2:30.
Your Iphone probably has several times the computing power of that room.
About 15 years ago I knew an older guy who was one of those natural-born engineers. I was telling him I had just bought a "new" pentium-powered desktop that upped my CPU speed to 90 MHz from my old XT/AT's 20 or so MHz and now I could do email over my wicked fast 28KHz dialup modem. He related that, in the early 60s, he'd worked on a contract for a government agency in Maryland where they'd built a 20 MHz computer. It needed a liquid cooling system to keep it running.
