It has a difficulty of log2(58**10) = 58.5798 bits, this is doable if you have a few GPUs.
If there is an outgoing transaction, then with the un/compressed public key and kangaroo or pollard, also possible.

Sadly this was an offline wallet, so it only ever had incoming transaction. It has never sent out.
So that would be very easy. ~60 missing bits, we would have the key within minutes.
