I'd like to figure out whether this watch is a real Omega - I can't find another one like it anywhere online. Thanks for advice in advance.

It's authentic (based on one fuzzy picture).

It has a number of issues (based on one fuzzy picture).

I suspect the dial has been repainted (T-SWISS MADE-T), but no evidence of tritium on the dial.
The hands have been re-lumed and are not correct for this model.
The crown looks to be a replacement.

Can't tell more without proper pictures.

Thank you - that's some impressive knowledge. I only have a limited set of pictures, because it's from a listing, but I have attached a couple more, if they are helpful?

And also perhaps some guidance on what it's worth in its current state?

TBH, I wouldn't buy it at any price unless it had some parts I needed to fix another watch. Just be patient and wait for something better.

I'll be more direct, looks like a piece of shit, I wouldn't buy it with someone else's money.

I think it's a pro redial based on an original

This is the original template, you can see that they left the lume spot parts blank, so %99 a redial
