[For the entire collection see Zbl 0699.00024.] Let \(M\) be a Stein manifold. The space \({\mathcal O}(M)\) of analytic functions on \(M\) is a nuclear Fréchet space with the topology of uniform convergence on compact subsets of \(M\). In this article Stein spaces \(M\) for which \({\mathcal O}(M)\) is isomorphic to a power series space are considered. The space \({\mathcal O}(M)\) is isomorphic to a finite type power series space if and only if there exists a bounded plurisubharmonic exhaustion function on Stein manifold \(M\). Following \textit{J. L. Stehle} [Lect. Notes Math. 474, 155-179 (1975; Zbl 0309.32011)] such manifolds are called hyperconvex. These manifolds can be considered as multidimensional analogs of completely regular Riemann surfaces. The space \({\mathcal O}(M)\) is isomorphic to an infinite type power series space if and only if every bounded plurisubharmonic function on \(M\) is constant. These manifolds can be considered as multidimensional analogs of parabolic open Riemann surfaces. Some examples of Stein manifolds \(M\) for which \(M\) is isomorphic to a power series space are given. A special case of a problem of \textit{B. S. Mitiagin-G. M. Henkin} [Russian Math. Surveys 26(1971), No. 4, 99-164 (1972; Zbl 0245.46027)] on the possibility of finding a linear continuous extension operator for analytic functions defined on a closed subvariety of a given Stein space \(M\) is also considered.
