Either cigarette smoke residue or coffee.
If it's in the fans too, cigarette smoke.
If it's not in the fans, likely someone spilled shit on it and at least let it dry out but didn't clean the mobo.
Might also just be idle buildup of dust, if this is a computer in a dirty and moist environment. At work there are 2 laptops which are synced to some CNC machines, they're on 24/7 in a place filled with fine metal dust and vaporized oil + coolant in the air. Every week I have to schedule a 1 hour downtime to strip them down and clean them inside and out.
That is called dust anon.
Looks that that nasty kitchen grease dust.

How do you clean it? I'm thinking compressed air and a soft brush? Dino-fossil style?

Well this thing isn't booting.
I was trying to figure out if this guy jizzed up in the vent

Pretty much, extremely low water content alcohol and a toothbrush would work well too
Gunk.
Dead skin cells, their oil, and thousands of other particulate types.

Your average thick dust of dirt, dead skin and other stuff.
Isopropyl alcohol and cotton swabs will clean it.
Also if it isnt booting its for something else.
Anyway
