If it was from 1979, does that mean it is this one for the Apple II: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Pascal

It was based on USCD Pascal, which compiled to p-code. It required 64kB of RAM and was bundled with the Apple II Language Card, which had 16kB of RAM [1]. The card cost $495 initially, which is about $2,200 in today's money. [2] It didn't fit on one floppy, so required some disk swapping.

Yes it was. I used UCSD Pascal on a Heathkit version of the PDP-11, Apple Pascal, and another UCSD variant on an HP 9836 (IIRC) micro, and I’m pretty sure we had a copy of that poster.
