Hello and welcome.

Is it stating that "iTunes temporarily unavailable. Try again later." or "This item is temporarily unavailable. (Try again later.)

-Since this is a 2007 model, it didn't ship with Mavericks, so that may be part of the problem if it is stating the latter above. You could always reinstall from the original grey discs that came with the Mac, then use the App Store to upgrade back to Mavericks.
-Are you using a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection? If Wi-Fi, you have to make sure you login to the Wi-Fi network before attempting the install using the Wi-Fi icon in the top right of the menu bar in the photo you posted, or the machine cannot "see" the App Store.

There are also ways to download the Mavericks installer on another Mac and create a bootable installer on an external HD or USB flash drive.
