It seems to be a compilation of contributions and lecture notes from 60s and 70s but I don't know if it's official or pirated.

It's neither pirated, nor a collection of lecture notes.

Harvey Rosenthal wrote out a bunch of Larry's routines from his private notes strictly for my use in future Jennings books. I had no idea he made a copy for Larry. Harvey and I have the only other two copies.

And would it be considered to be as valuable as the price suggests?

This book has been on eBay for months and has remained unsold. The Chief Genii's answer solved the mystery of its existence. I'm wondering if it was one of the items left behind from the Jennings Potter & Potter auction of a few years ago. Usually after an auction, a few items stay behind. This manuscript is one of those sub rosa items meant only for the few. It's market value has yet to be determined.

I can most definitely state, since I own a copy, that it's not worth $100, forget $995.
