That looks like a BS 1363 power strip? It seems fine to me: I see a circuit breaker, an MOV, and each socket is switched on the live (brown, in IEC color convention) wire.
That's not a UK plug socket. It looks like one of those Chinese "anything plugs". They are fine the first few times, but can get dangerous over time. They also lack a lot of the safety features the BS1363 specs require.
Tbh it's just a random no name Chinese power strip branded itself as "SATA", that's why I'm very skeptical about it
They labeled it SATA when it's clearly NVMe: not very much electricity
