It's for a Minolta MD mount manual focus camera. Not sure of value, but I'm afraid it's not going to make you rich!
MD lenses can be used on Sony Nex cameras with an adapter, micro 4/3rds with an adapter and Samsung NX with an adapter. Some of these lenses had changeable mounts, but we'd need a photo to confirm if yours is one of those

Welcome James!
Keep it for a while , current value is near zero, better to keep it than sell for nothing.

Looks like a fixed mount lens to me. Buy a used Nex and make use of a family lens maybe

Its probably fairly easy to change the mount on that, if you want to play around.
You will need an M42-EOS adapter. Unscrew the MD mount, drill holes aligned with the screw holes in the plate of the M42-EOS adapter, and screw it in place of the MD mount. Use shims to adjust distance if you are concerned about exact infinity adjustment.
