That's an Olympia SM8, probably late 1960s version. This is among my favorite machines to type on. I was typing on one this morning, in fact. You can see some galleries of this typewriter here.
Red/Black "Universal" typewriter ribbon/spools will work fine for this typewriter. You can find them on Amazon, eg here.
Type much!
Yeah well I got this spool and used the ribbon on those to replace the original one. If you have the same spools that I have it should be easy to take the old ribbon off and put a new one on.
If you are just looking for what you need to type all you need is a Universal Ink Ribbon Spool. Can be bought on amazon. THe office Max here sells them as well. That will get you typing just make sure what you buy has a spool diameter of 2 inches and the ribbon is 1/2 inch wide. If your typewriter takes a smaller spool you may have to rewind. I havent found a smaller diameter spool for my machines that take them.
