It is possible it could be translated back to assembler. It could be byte compiled basic, or some other usually interpreted language. Since there is no way to know even what processor that is for, there is no way to know what it is.

Back in the day, COMPUTE! magazine published pages and pages of hex code just like that, that you could type in to create an executable -- https://arstechnica.com/staff/2012/12/first-encounter-compute-magazine-and-its-glorious-tedious-type-in-code/
It was compiled code in binary.

Damn. and I thought debugging someone else code was tough.

Obviously it's not a straight "paste into any Hex-to-ASCII converter". That would be WAY too easy. It MAY be an encrypted file or text stream and you're expected to be able to pull the type identifier out of the header and/or footer bytes. Either way, it looks like you're out of your depth here.
