It is, a 68030.

...because of a general lack of machines to test, we are only aware of
boots on the Powerbook 145, Powerbook 150, Powerbook 170, Powerbook 180,
and Powerbook 190. Even if it boots, we currently have no support for
Powerbook-style ADB, the APM support, or just about anything else on
them. This means the only way to log in is with a terminal hooked up to
the serial interface...

Current status on Powerbooks 140, 160, 165, 165c, 180c, 190, 520 and
Duos 210, 230, 250, 270c, 280, and 280c is unknown.
