Dave,
What a horrible picture! You must have taken lessons from me. 
Really though, I can not see anything more than what I believe is rust and corrosion on the panel.
Can you hook us up with a better picture?

First, it is outdoors and does not have a raintight cover.
The inside probably looks the same, replace it.

Excess corrosion
painted cover
possibly loose circuit breakers
what appears to be wires protruding from bottom
not exterior approved
contact licensed electrician for evaluation

Hi to all,
I agree with the others comments, there is enough wrong with that panel to warrant recommending further evaluation by a licensed electritian. In fact it looks that bad that I very much doubt that I would even pull the dead front to see what else was wrong myself.
Regards
