There is no box or docs. Some of these guns are marked "stainless" on the slide and some aren't. Why are some stamped and some not?

Simply a production run change. The slides are still stainless steel, they're simply not run through the stamping step as a cost/time-saving measure as demand has been high.

Call S&W and they can tell you the build date on your piece.

2010 would be the build year.
