It looks like an old Minolta SR mount lens. The notch in the bayonet tab in your 4th and 5th pictures are a dead giveaway for being a Minolta SR/MC/MD mount.

The lack of a shutter-preferred autoexposure lug means it is not an MD lens. The riveted tab is the meter coupling tab, indicating this is an MC lens.
