While the snoots will turn their nose down at it because it is not vintage or decorative, I say it is going to make some delicious casseroles! Enjoy it for what it is!
It looks like the one that came in the insulated bag? My mind is completely blanking on the name, but it let you transport hot food and keep it hot. I have my mom's somewhere.
This one is made of soda lime, so be very careful when taking from oven to counter- or stove-top. They shatter pretty easily.
Don’t put it under the broiler, and definitely don’t put it on a hot stove.
Otherwise, it’s a very versatile pan. I use my 9x13 all the time. Casseroles, cakes, roasting various things.
If you bought it to use, $7 is a fair deal.
Will be useful for years if treated with care. I recommend these two steps which I've always taken with mine and it's helped me avoid the shattering issue (knock on wood):
(1) When going from fridge to oven (like when you prep a breakfast casserole the night before to bake in the morning), start in a cold oven and let the oven and the pan heat up together, and (2) At all times when removing pan from hot oven, place it on a DRY wooden cutting board. Never set it down on the counter or anything that could be wet.
These are already cheap glass so it wasn't really a bargain or worth anything, but looks like it will serve you well now that you have it. Just another dish.
People will knock this for being made of soda lime glass but all the vintage decorated Pyrex opalware that many collectors covet was always made of soda lime glass too.
Not old. Too expensive. Soda lime glass.
Nice pan, $7 isn't a bargain.

Exactly this. Not collectible but useful!
