It's not really all that "wrong", though. The important thing to do with this one is to isolate the neutrals. Get a ground bus bar and move all the bare copper grounds to that. Leave the incoming and outgoing neutrals on the screw terminals on the far left of the disconnect. You have an unused 20-amp circuit in there - the bottom screw of the left fuse. You can get power for your receptacles from there. Use 12 AWG wire for the new receptacles (aka plug or outlets). The white neutral for the new receptacles would go under one of the neutral screws (one wire per screw, unless the disconnect's label says you can have 2 wires under each screw), and the bare ground would go onto your new bus bar.
Now, check the fuse in the middle of the disconnect (the one with the yellow price tag), and check the white Romex cable coming out of the top of the disconnect. The Romex is probably 14 AWG, and labeled something like "14-2 w/ground". If so, make sure that middle fuse is a 15-amp fuse. The left fuse is a 20-amp fuse, which requires larger (12 AWG) wire. 20 amps is enough to overheat 14 AWG wire and possibly start a fire.
While you're at it, double-check the breaker on the main panel that feeds this disconnect, and check the size of the gray UF wire feeding it. It looks like 10 AWG UF (10-2 w/ground). If so, make sure the breaker feeding it is a 30-amp (or less) breaker. Personally, I'd put a 20-amp breaker in front of this - if there's an overload, the entire underground feeder is more protected, and flipping a breaker is a lot cheaper than replacing a $5 fuse.
You can get a Square-D 6-circuit sub-panel for around $35 on Amazon. I use them all the time. They're rated for 100A, but you decide on what to use for a main breaker 9you actually don't have to use a main breaker if the circuit is already protected at the source)
