It has a 122 layout and a IBM logo, but I don't think it looks like any model M varints.
Could anyone tell me what it is ?
What is this keyboard?

It is an IBM M122, but a later model. Last example I saw of one of these was that it was produced Unicomp for IBM, so most likely it was made towards the very late 90's and very early 2000s.
This is the last example I saw of one of these models with the exact same branding (but rather yellow) :https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-IBM- ... 5260248999

Many Unicomp-made very late IBM Model Ms had that sort of branding. For example, my 2004 IBM Model M13 with its lock-light variant of the simple IBM logo design:
I'm not sure what this keyboard's exact part number is. But given its Type III ("battlecruiser"-style) 122-key Model M and its "RJ-45" plug, it was most likely an IBM InfoWindow keyboard of some sort and it likely shared a part number with a keyboard that had been produced for the previous decade before it. For example, P/N 1394167 (US/Canada IBM 347x InfoWindow keyboard) was in production by the early '90s during the IBM/Lexmark era and as late as 2002 during the Unicomp era using the same part number despite the difference in branding.
