What would you do first?
Right now I need to get some work done.
I would start by watching Muv's wonderful videos!!!

She has a series of 8 on U tube. I would watch them all before I did too much. She has really good info.
If the machine is locked up - then you may need Billy's "spa treatment" or a partial spa treatment . .
Just be sure and use sewing machine oil. Avoid 3 in 1 oil.
Thanks one of them is locked up, what is Billy's spa treatment, I will search for it later, time to make dinner now.
How bad does it look? Just because it is locked up doesn't mean you have to strip it down. Is it locked up from rust or from 3 in 1 oil? I trust you can tell the difference. Not every machine needs the total tear down and soak
Sorry I dont know the difference, it doesn't look like rust but I haven't gotten into it yet.
The rust is going to be a bit gritty. The 3-in-1 oil is going to be a bit gummy - prod it with a pin or needle to feel. The rust dissolves with some vinegar and the 3-in-1 oil takes kerosene or other solvent - check Muv's video
never mind the vinegar - try oil
