Is this a VST? VST3? Old Roland sounds?

The folks at KVR didn't know what to make of this a few months ago. See https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=599295

Could you please provide a link, so we can research and be more assured this is legitimate?

Does anyone else here know about this product?

Neither, it's just the soundfont itself. It would need something like VSTSynthFont or szforzando to play.

I found it by web search via Musical-Artifacts.com. It's a 2.1G download for a 3.7G .sf2 file plus a bunch of MIDI files and appears now to be called "Apollo GMGS".
I'm just downloading it to check it appears to be what it claims to be.
The changelog looks sensible.
It's identified by Linux as an sf2 file.
OK, loaded into qsynth and I dropped the example Africa.mid on it. Yes, sounds pretty good. It may well be worth trying.

Caveat Emptor.
I use the Arachno soundfont (148 MB) during development and testing MIDI files. It's plenty good for that. I've tried others, but the improvement in sound quality wasn't worth the RAM hit (the entire soundfont gets loaded into RAM). If you load more than one soundfont, you can really eat up your RAM resources. If you have 32 or 64 GB of RAM, 3.7 GB isn't bad. But on a 16 GB machine, it's a lot. And it would kill an 8GB machine.

I use the free CoolSoft VirtualMIDISynth in place of Microsoft's GM MIDI Synth. I also have sforzando, but don't use it.

CoolSoft VirtualMIDISynth

The Arachno soundfont, and many others, are inked to on the CoolSoft VirtualMIDISynth page.
