It sounds like a low-end lightweight marching snare from the 1970s or 1980s. Is it a vintage drum? I suppose that depends on how you define "vintage". It's getting old, but it's not particularly valuable. You can find them on eBay pretty frequently in the sub-$50 range.

Higher-end snare drums of the same era were typically 12" deep, with 12 one-piece lugs. They often had heavier duty snare strainers and synthetic gut cable snares instead of wires. At some point during the 70s or 80s, cast rims became standard issue on the higher-end models.

...and that's more important than whether or not it meets someone else's definition of "vintage". :)
