If the button count is correct, then that's certainly a TS-990.
I'm not knocking it - I like lots of buttons, switches, knobs and other
controls.
However, as nice as it is that your friend with his new General-class
license can afford such a radio right out of the starting gate, it seems
to me a bit of overkill.
But, to each his own. I'm sure that he'll grow into it and will enjoy it.

200 Watt radio came out of it's box. What a Nightmare! We didn't count
them but 111 buttons and too many knobs seems correct. *
