Nice find! If it is a Supercaliber, those were nice bikes - a decent lightweight aluminum xc race bike back in the day. Bikes don't wear out as fast as cars from age alone, so unless you get really seriously into mtb racing or something where you want the newest technology etc, it should be just fine for you. Other than the shock (which is pretty basic - the condition of it might be an issue), I can't tell what componentry is on it from the photos... but basically those are the parts that wear out, so it doesn't really matter that much - you can upgrade as stuff breaks. Sometimes drivetrain upgrades propogate, but fixing bikes is much cheaper than fixing cars!
Put some new tires on it and have fun! Dunno if I dare start a tire thread, but Panaracer Fire XC Pros (look for "made in Japan" version kevlar bead) is a great balance imho - sticky bumps cling to rock faces, great cornering wedges, all while having decent enough weight and rolling resistance... that's my go-to all-round tire...
enjoy!
