That model number corresponds to a 10.5" iPad Pro. There's only one generation of that particular model. So first Generation if you want to get specific.

No. The 10.5" is not a second generation. Its a single generation of 10.5" iPad. Just like the 9.7" iPad Pro is a single generation, and the 11" is a single generation.

Only the 12.9" iPads are divided in generations since there's no other way to distinguish by name.

The 2017, 10.5 inch screen iPad Pro is generally regarded as a 2nd generation iPad Pro models.

Just the same way the newest 11 and 12.9 inch screen iPad Pros are considered 3rd generation.

The 2017, 10.5 and 12.9 inch screen iPads Pros are considered 2nd generation iPad Pros.

Apple does not use generations for the 9.7", 10.5" or 11" iPad Pros, and generally when looking for accessories or cases, generations are not mentioned either.

While yes technically you can refer to them as a second generation "smaller" iPad Pro, they are due to their screen size differences unique enough to not be different generations of a same product.

I do however agree, this gets confusing when you see Apple refer to the 10.5" iPad Air, and the 10.2" iPad as a generation of the previous models in their group with smaller screen sizes.

However, its easier and less confusing to just keep the naming consistent with Apple. Otherwise if Apple decides to produce a "4th" generation iPad in 11". It's going to be very confusing. Is it a second generation 11" or a 4th generation of the "smaller" iPad Pro? How would you search for it? Best to stick with Apple's naming convention in these cases.

It is a 1st generation 10.5 inch iPad Pro Wi-Fi + Cellular model from 2017.
