That looks like a 1.1GHz/100Mhz/256KB Coppermine. It is socket 370.
The word "mobile" doesn't appear on this page:

This is the spec update for Pentium III.

The Mobile Pentium III list is pretty strange looking (click "Go").
Note the socket pin count is bigger.

There are some comments from "P2B" here:

For questions like this I always suggest powerleap.com as a place to
look for information. They make (made?) a "slocket" which allowed a skt
370 CPU to run in slot boards. Sorry, long time ago, I may be thinking
P-II rather than P-III but worth a look anyway.

I've checked their web site already couple of days ago (found it in
FAQ). The prices they have are insane. It costs about the same to buy
*entire* system from Dell (Celeron D 2.4GHz, 80GB disk, 256MB RAM) as
they are charging for single PL-iP3/T with 1.4 GHz P3. Go dual, and I
could almost buy 1U dual P4 server for that price. I simply don't
understand why would anybody buy those adapters from PowerLeap?

Anyhow, thanks to everybody who answered. I'll be probably buying
those 1.1 GHz processors, if seller finally reposnds to my email (to
confirm the processors are really SL5QW (which would mean they really
are not in "mobile" packaging), and that he will not use UPS for
shipping).<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

That's easy, because a system is more than CPU and motherboard. If you
have an investment in memory, video, or particularly an embedded app
with custom hardware attached, it's cost effective. If your company has
different pockets labeled upgrade and replace, you may be able to get
funding for a better CPU but not a new system.

There's obviously a market for their stuff, or they wouldn't be here.
