My *best guess* is that this is a 1990s TREK hybrid or MTB. (Early hybrids came with both 26-inch MTB wheels and 700C road wheels back then, depending on the maker. This is clearly a lower-cost TREK alumiunum-framed 26-inch-wheeled MTB.) It has Easton aluminum tubes glued to internal lugs so the aluminum frame's fatigue life should be considered after 20-plus years.
Take a look here firsts for vintage TREK catalogs:
http://www.vintage-trek.com/trek-fisher-klein-lemond.htm
The 1992 catalog lists a very similar model 7000 (the third tier down from TREK's top 9000 series MTBs) but in different colors, so it is close (+/- 2-3 years?):

Other discussion lists mention TREKs with this model number but it has been used over the years for different bikes:

The previous poster has given you a pretty comprehensive run down.
Remember that MTBs have a higher BB so that frame is not as small as it looks but would be on the smaller side.
Anything good about it? I imagine you could buy it for little money and it would make a good workhorse once sorted out. The position has been set up for someone too tall for the bike.

It's a fairly ordinary rigid 26'er. Nothing remarkable or valuable about it. Trek MTB frames tended to be sized on the small size with short head tubes. OK if you want a head down arse up MTB riding style. Not much use for anyone who wants a comfortable utility bike to just get around on. That frame is a good couple of inches too small for an average sized male adult and is not something I would actively seek out. Trek did make some proper man-sized frame MTB's but they are much less common than the small ones.
