Major triad, minor seventh. The chord that wants to resolve a fourth up.

What is true of it

A♯7 is A♯, C𝄪, E♯ and G♯ — 1, 3, 5 and b7 counted from A♯.

C𝄪 is a double sharp, and it has to be: every letter from A♯ upwards is used once, so the 3 cannot be written any other way.

On an instrument that cannot reach all 4, the 5 goes first, in that order.

The easiest of the 5 fingerings below is 3545: 4 fingers, held at the 3rd fret.

None of them uses an open string, so this chord moves up the neck unchanged — the same shape 1 fret higher is the chord a semitone above.

1 of the 5 need a barre.

The brass dots are A♯, the root. Everything else is a chord tone with its degree printed in it.

An inversion is the same chord with a different note lowest. The name changes to a slash name because the bass is what a listener hears as the foundation.
