Those dates just show at what point the cable type was approved by some certification body or other (is there a BS number nearby?), not the date of make. You could say that the unit can't be any older than this, but it may be considerably newer. It looks early to mid 80s to me.
The 9 on the output transistors seems to confirm 1979. I can't explain the N, though, since month codes only count to L. I don't think it's much newer than 1979 given its construction and appearance.
