Not as it is pictured, no. (The material probably might be superconductive if you cool it down far enough, though, but that is true for quite a number of materials).

Liquid at "normal" temperature (~20 degrees) Celsius i suppose.
Then i'd say it is mercury in a test tube, turned 90 degrees

It is indeed. Unfortunately the mercury at my lab is pretty old and has accumulated some dust, that's why it looks a bit unusual. Over to you

^ lol i thought of it at first glance, but those small cavities looked strange, so i first thought of molten and then solidified lead or other metal. Nice idea with the tilt.

Oh no now find something new
