The "average temperature" is Frozen, but during its 9 and a half month long day the current day side really heats up, and every 3 and a half months it gets close enough to the sun to sterilize the tropical zone and boil the oceans.

It's the most uninhabitable habitable planet I've ever seen.
I wouldn't consider it to be habitable at all. To my mind, a habitable world is one where humans (or whatever species) could, at least in theory, survive and reproduce open-ended without technological support (i.e. like Earth). I'm not sure TL0 humans could do that on this world.

(With the right technology and support, any world is potentially habitable.)
