What is this galaxy?
The galaxy is NGC 4435, a.k.a. VCC 1030 and at least a dozen other
names. Its morphology is classified as SBO (plus some other stuff),
which means it's a barred lenticular (or S0) galaxy. If you click on
the Explore link on the SDSS page (your link), and then on the NED
search link, you'll get a lot of information about this galaxy,
including the fact that it appears in some 363 papers (references), all
of which can be accessed via a link. There are also 12 notes, one of
which says, in part "Because of the dust, it is also impossible to
assess the presence of a nucleus".
