Low resolution?

Yes

Purpose of use

The image serves as a visual representation of Satoru Iwata's sense of humor, which was often utilized in his Nintendo Direct and other press release videos. This particular example is one of the most well-known instances of such. This is also noted to have become a meme and was part of tributes to Iwata on his death, as discussed by sources within the article.

Replaceable?

There is no free equivalent, so the image cannot be replaced by a free image. While the general statement of the screenshot can be made in text ("Iwata holding a bunch of bananas while looking to the camera"), this video did become an internet meme based on the mannerisms that Iwata used (here his seriousness) that cannot readily be captured in text alone.
