Hi,
Looks like it does not have wireless card but its motherboard has 3 PCI Express x1 slot (for cards such as network, sound, tv-tuner)

You need a PCI network card for your machine, such as

Since the machine is too old, I don't know USB wireless card is suitable or not. If you are going to buy one, please ask vendor to supply driver for it.
Regards.
