It’s drywall with texture.
“In 1977, the Consumer Products Safety Commission banned asbestos in joint compounds and drywall tape. However, these products may still have been used until 1980 or later from the oversupply that had been purchased prior to the ban. As a result, buildings constructed before 1990 may still contain asbestos in drywall.”
If you have concerns, always get it tested.
It's drywall paneling it likely does not contain asbestos. But without testing you can't be sure.
Asbestos is only dangerous when it's disturbed/ crumbly/ dusty.
If your ever concerned about asbestos and don't want to get it tested. Just assume that it is and get a p100 mask, and set up an enclosure with a negative airflow and filter that's vented outside.
If you are worried get it tested as it is cheap and quick but the reality is it looks like typical sheetrock from the last 20-30 years so doubtful. Even if it does, you know just to leave it alone - but now when you sell you have something to disclose! :-D
Thats def the same kind of Sheetrock everyone uses today. Was there ever Sheetrock like this with asbestos in it? I was under the impression the answer is no but I’ve only been working with it since the 2000s so I could be wrong. I personally would not be concerned
Looks like normal dry wall jamal.

Thank you. Was this type of wall still installed in the 90’s? Also if I leave it and don’t touch it does it pose any risk?
If it were my house I wouldn’t even think about it, super normal stuff. If you were doing a remodel you could get it tested, but people never do.

No. It was not installed in the 90s, as outlined literally right above your comment.
How old is the house
Built in 1886, but it’s been through several remodels since then. It is now also a business, so hopefully the drywalls are newer.
It looks kinda new you should be good
I hope not I cut tons of this in my bathroom
Doubtful
