Upon inspecting the hash we can observe that it matches the hash of Bitcoin's genesis block: 000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f.

However, the hash is in the wrong byte order, so the genesis block header can't be used to unlock it, and whomever created it had permanently burned his 1 Bitcoin because the reversed-byte hash has some unknown preimage which will likely never be discovered, so no, it is not spendable.

There is another output, with the correct byte order:

Block Height TXID Output Index Satoshi Amount Locking Script Status

which was successfully spent by using Bitcoin's genesis block header as input script:
