Top loading, high efficient (low water use) washer. So maybe the 'S' shape trap is causing the slow drain?The metal pipe looks smaller than what is used today. I believe 2" is standard for laundry drains now. Traps have to go down and up to work. The whole purpose is to form a water seal to prevent sewer gases from coming up through the drain. Is this is a top loading washer or a front loading? Top loaders use a lot more water than front loaders and dump it into the drain a lot faster exacerbating a slow drain.
The problem with an S is that the water is pulled out of the trap when the water runs fast so no. I would suspect a blockage of some sort like rust in the metal pipe.Top loading, high efficient (low water use) washer. So maybe the 'S' shape trap is causing the slow drain?
