Also, this is an obscure assembly variant specifically for the computers in the Apollo mission. Not sure about the specifications on that, maybe there is a handbook, but I doubt it.

Rewriting the code to x86 or anything seems improbable since you'd pretty much have to guess what the instructions are actually doing.
