All four look peripheral

Just to see, if you're interested in putting in the time: you may want to pop open a single one of those dip switches and see what's inside. Usually it silver plate or nickel but on rare occasions I've found gold. Like real gold. Especially in old scsi components.

I can't tell from the photo if it's gold or silver but your next test is to have it tested. By yourself or by a reputable jewellery store who could acid test or xrf scan it for you.
Again I have found legitimate real gold balls in those. Assuming it's gold. They don't weigh much but take the time to carefully remove the balls and collect them that would be a fair bit of money. Many levels beyond the scrap board rate.
To be realistic though silver balls I've found have almost all been silver plated copper. Gold is usually plated as well but the possibility is worth a trip to have it verified.
