68060E may not be a full 68060.
Possibly missing FPU.
You'd have to ask to be sure, but the one without the FPU (or MMU) is the 68EC060 - I dunno if that's what they mean by 68060E.

More of a concern, I think, is that it doesn't look like any of the ICs on that board are socketed - unless the CPU is under that big heatsink (and maybe even then, as it's pretty low to the board,) it's likely a QFP processor, probably not something you could easily reuse.
