If it's really an Interbase database file then you need an installed
server to read the data (later versions of Firebird also provide an
embedded architecture which contains a server inside the client
library).

I'm not sure but maybe the first version of Firebird can read that
file, try to install Firebird 1.0.3:

You can connect to a Firebird database using the GUI tool FlameRobin:

Then you should be able to export data and or metadata.
