It could be just a transformer, a simple non-switcher power supply as was first used with Nokia older cellphones.
In this case, it would be just a small power transformer with rectifier diodes and a large valued filter capacitor, no regulation.
If it is a wallwart type heavy, it's just using a transformer, otherwise it is a switchmode power supply.
What it is good for is to supply a low-power around 3-5V /400mA circuit, and whether what it powers is something awesome or mundane is up to you to find.
