If it’s from the late 1950s, it wouldn’t even have been a knockoff COBOL. Probably assembly language for a machine that used either base 3 or base minus 2. (Before Khrushchev (I think) gave the order to stop inventing their own tech and start cloning American computers, the Soviets had some seriously weird computer architectures.)
Well fuck, that was supposed to be some of our last defense against aliens who wreck all our digital technology and leave the analog stuff behind, which is how we win the war.

It’s entirely possible that it was a fully analog device
