It doesn’t look like it was in contact with any cooking surface at all on the side we can see and we can’t see the other side at all, so I don’t know how you made the jump to panini, lol. It looks dry and sad.
That was cooked on a toastie maker. They’re pretty common where I live. It’s like a sandwich press with molded hotplates to squeeze the sandwich into the shape you see there. They do get kind of dry on the outside.
Yeah, it definitely looks like it was smashed into too small of a space, but it doesn’t actually look grilled/fried, it looks toasted. No matter what, it’s quite unappetizing, as is that red water next to it, lol.
Baked it wouldn’t be in contact with the cooking surface on both sides.
I’d say more of a panini-style grilled cheese. Probably damn tasty.

Most people butter the bread and turn it inside, against the filling. The trick for the crispiest toastie is to turn the buttered side on the outside.
People don’t butter the outside? I thought that was just how it worked
Because it’s made in a sandwich maker - it clearly was pressed in one.
Not sure what you’re seeing.
