Is this card treated as a land, sorcery, instant etc. It is an older card from what I can see and not too sure how to play it.

Dark Ritual  is an instant. You can look up a card's current wording at gatherer.wizards.com

Thanks for the link. The ones I have don't read 'interupt', they read 'mana source'.

From Alpha thru 4th edition, including Ice Age, Dark Ritual was an "Interrupt". Then the Interrupt card type ceased to exist. Cards that used to be "Interrupt" became "Instant", except those that provide mana, which became a new card type, "Mana Source".
In Mirage, 5th Edition, Tempest, and Urza's Saga, it was a "Mana Source". Then the Mana Source card type ceased to exist, and all cards that were of type "Mana Source" became of type "Instant".
In what few editions that it has appeared since, it has been an Instant. And that is its current Oracle wording, which means that's how you should play/treat it no matter what it actually says on the card.

This isn't right. The "mana source" type was an addition, not a replacement. Fifth Edition had Dark Ritual as a mana source and Counterspell  as an interrupt.
