fold preflop, he's too tight. your hand plays terribly if called.

What kind of PFR does he need for me to make this a call?

You need a read that he's like 60/40 or similar and that he folds when shoved over.

Absolutely crucial. We do not want our hand to showdown!

Is this really that bad ?

He looks like a decent player and i would assume he's stealing pretty often here. And he really can't call very wide since he's by far the shortest if he calls and looses.

I wouldn't be calling PF to often. I would either be raising or folding.
Ace x oop is very hard to play, unless you hit big.

As you said in your title, this player is standard. So, if he is standard we can assume that yes, he does make the occasional blind steal but I wouldn't say that is enough information to justify a shove here.

Standard players still call too wide for my liking.
