From a closer look at that old photo, I have my doubts that it's actually a genuine Polaroid photo. More likely, a template of old Polaroid "pull and peel" image has the photo embedded in it with Photoshop or some similar program. You can find these "templates" online to fake old-time Polaroid photos (Google "fake Polaroid templates.") There are a few clues in it. The image of a frame around the main subject could also be that it's a copy of another photo made with the camera. A close up kit was made for them. My Dad bought one of the first model 95 cameras when they originally came out---I still have it---. The early film came with a swab of fixative to keep the image from fading. It was acidic and stunk like hell. If that wasn't smeared evenly on the whole print, there would be streaks that would eventually appear as that part faded in time.
