That pond to me looks like it is a good candidate for a complete pond renovation. It does look like a good pond for amphibians. I suspect that it has frequent fish kills especially during winter due to dissolved oxygen loss. The main thing you should do when the ice melts is to determine how deep it is and how thick the muck layer is on the bottom which is likely 3ft+ thick.
