Picked it up for a song recently. I suspect it to be a BSR but it's kind of weird. Also, why is it so clean and skinny? It looks like aluminum but it's labeled as CI.

Usually cast iron is left rough in order to facilitate the coating to stick. If you manage to season it it will be fine. Rub a thin layer of oil on it, remover it with a towel and put it in the oven for a while. (Until it has stopped giving off smoke/an hour) Preferably use linseed oil.
