Copper Wire in Prospective Rent House (Picture)

After the contractor left the property that we are thinking about purchasing as a rental, I decided to take a look at the outlets to check for copper wire since the property was built in the early 1970s.

Here is what I found. I am no electrician but I think its safe to say its copper wire.

Is this one of those dangerous copper wire set ups, is there a way you can pig tail this to get it up code? Do you have to pig tail the outlets and the breaker box?

Thanks everyone
