It looks like a SLA 3d print to me. They go that distinctive yellow over time.

In 2001?

Absolutely, was already quite common back then. It was invented in the 80s after all.

Yeah, SLA printing was totes used in prototyping back then. It was just really expensive because the patents hadn't expired yet. I'd expect that Apple's R&D lab would have had access to them.
