I hope to take it upstairs this afternoon and shoot it some.

When I opened it up it had one of the S&W CO2 cylinders in it.
Congratulations on the reseal! I've found that if they hold air for a day they are usually good to go. Your pistol looks like it's in nice shape. The serial number tracks to about 1975, and it would have come with a box of 5 CO2 cartridges like the one you found in it and a tin of 250 pellets. They are great shooting pistols!
