Ok first admission I am a Mac Newbie. I was given a Powerbook G3
which is running Mac OS 8.1. It has a 2Gb hard drive and 160Mb RAM.
It is all Black (black keyboard) and the apple logo on the top is
white. Underneath it says Powerbook G3 Series
That is a Wallstreet or Wallstreet II:

This should be sufficient info to get you going with Ubuntu.
PRAM is an acronym for Parameter Ram, where a fairly large variety of
stuff about the computer is stored for use at boot time.
PRAM is maintained by a battery, when those go dead, the systems can
act quite unpredictably.
<http://www.pbfixit.com/Guide/3.11.0.html> shows the procedure for
replacing it.
They also sell it, it's $40.
