"sed" is a string-manipulation program. A very old, very simple, and very powerful one.
This is a sed script - a series of commands, intended to be given to the sed program, to order it to make a number of string manipulations and respond to inputs.
If you run this with sed, it plays Tetris. In ascii characters.
a physical Towers of Hanoi implemented on spindled punch card decks that contain a program to solve Towers of Hanoi.
The person who built it, also programmed in octal values on a lined notepad in ink, in an era where programmers left program entry to punch-key operators and IPL to operators.

those who understand Binary and those who don't."
And I suppose the person who wrote that script is one the '10'.
