Nope, just that it was made really early in the 1980 MY, probably in the 1st week of production in the fall of '79.
Just for S&Gs, here are a couple of graphs of production numbers- these don't account for about 500 cars not included in the database so they're only accurate to ~1% or so.
Total production, US/Canada vs ROW, 1980-1995:

The sticker suffers from 44 years of handling. Hopefully it is legible for you. My car has an auto trans, partial leather, power seats, no sunroof, rub strips or rear wiper. It is about as stripped as it could be. Strange that the seats and leather dash don't show on the sticker. And then there is the mysterious F92.
Not too computer skilled, hope the sticker shows up.
