What kind of valve is this exactly? Never seen that exact connection type (lemmy.ml)

I'm pretty new to this. I was considering replacing it with something else because it leaks slightly from the valve if it gets moved around at all, but I don't know what this connection is to start with. It goes to a dishwasher.

I'm guessing it's a right-angle quarter-turn ball valve. It's crimped on one side and looks like a compression fitting on the other. Maybe it's a gate valve, which in my experience are far more prone to leaks, but the notches in the handle make me think ball valve.

Which part leaks?
