It looks like a threaded fitting that was glued on but the angle doesn't give a good look.

Not sure what you are trying to do....first thought the wood is the side of the house, but apparently not?
It can be moved and that is likely a fitting on the end of the PVC. How easy, will depending on how far and what your digging turns up.
Just turn the water off, before you cut or dig.

it appears it is some kind of long PVC riser / ******, they put a rebar to give the PVC some support from swaying. No problem I guess I can glue one to do the same thing.

I guess the same as sprinkler piping work.

Everything is "easy", once you know how to do it!
I suppose it is all relative...and this is what I would do... dig a trench from the area you want the spigot to come up out of the ground to this location. Here at the existing location I would dig all around the pipe to find the lead pipe coming from the house. Turn off the water, drain the pipe and cut the pipe just before the elbow turned up....leave a little end on the pipe to add a coupling. Now glue a new PVC elbow to line up with your trench and rePVC pipe the system to your new location. Using a PVC coupling glue the spigot assembly to your repipe assembly. Turn on the water and verify you have on leaks, and fill in the trench....
....use the existing spigot and piping so you don't need a lot of expensive parts!!!!
PoorOwner, that's what it is
That is a 'riser' that is threaded on both ends with the rebar for support. (They are a little thicker than normal schedule 40 pipe and will take more abuse)
Dig down and find the actual sprinkler pipe it is connected to and see what you got.
I would expect you will find your typical 3/4" schedule 40 sprinkler pipe. Cut the existing ninety degree fitting off, run the pipe where you want it to be and glue another one of these fittings on - then screw in your riser (teflon tape helps)

Find the water cut off and turn it off before you go digging around the existing PVC less you pull up the rebar and accidentally break the riser.
PVC is easy to work. There an any number of fittings to accomplish what you want to do.
