I stumbled upon the most uncommon thing. An 8-PIN DIP IC with part number (OP277PA.)
However, the datasheet is nowhere to be found and I've done my research.
Is it possible that it is an OPA277P, or is it its own thing?
Does anybody have a clever way to test if it is a low noise precision opamp?

The OP277PA is an earlier version of the OPA277 precision opamp (Datasheet)
If you scroll down to the orderable information you will find this the orderable part number for the device in a plastic DIP package.
The final A refers to the die revision.

If you look at the picture attached in the question you'll see that the IC is OP277PA and not OPA277PA. and that is the question are they equivalent? not the OPA277 and OPA277PA.
