It's likely not to be a standard S-Video connector, I know mine isn't and the picture isn't all that bad for what it is. With that cable you can hook up a TV or monitor with component (ypbpr) to your graphics card.

looks like the other way around to me. Component to S video. Notice there is no pin in the center of the red/blue/green plugs.

Nope S-Video in, Component out. The cable is so short that it can only be used to connect a standard component cable to it which in effect extends it and adds the S-Video connector. Although it could very well be used in that manner if the S-Video end is indeed standard.

Nah, the video card outputs at high definition resolutions when you attach the cable...
