OK - it looks to be "nicely" messed up by multispec:

...
Coordinate System is:
PROJCS["Generated by MultiSpecWin32_12.20.2007 on 03-09-2010  18:02:00",
    GEOGCS["unnamed",
        DATUM["unknown",
            SPHEROID["unretrievable - using WGS84",6378137,298.257223563]],
        PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
        UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]],
    UNIT["metre",1,
        AUTHORITY["EPSG","9001"]]]
Origin = (567976.937500000000000,787046.062500000000000)
Pixel Size = (15.000000000000000,-15.000000000000000)

...
Corner Coordinates:
Upper Left  (  567976.938,  787046.063)
Lower Left  (  567976.938,  775256.063)
...

Should this be UTM coordinates? Where is the place approximately?
Once figured out, you can assign the correct metadata  with the
gdal_translate tool.
