If you pull out that box and look at the "SPEC ORD" number, that is the date of manufacture.
The 1st digit of the "SPEC ORD" number is the last digit of the year, so you need to know what decade it was manufactured in.
The reaming three digits are the day of the year in Julian format. For example x042 would be February 11th
You can just google Julian Calendar and one will pop up for you. Remember to consider leap years or your date could be one day off
