It is obviously not stalemate. It is white to move. Even if black was to move, black has 9 different legal moves.

We just discussed that in the Endgame Study Forum. It is interesting when a player times out in a position where the game is about to end in checkmate in his favor. He then gets a draw from the arbiter because there is no way he could lose that game were it to be continued!
