Txs for posting. It's great when we get such marvelous pictures.

It's definitely from February 1985, but I could have told you that it was 1985 model even withou the serial number, due to the unique decal scheme. We don't know what the other numbers designate but they are probably a sequential build number. I don't have pricing for the 1985 Century but based on similarly spec'd models (i.e. 4130 PG main tubes, Shimano Z202 front derailleur, Z501 rear derailleur and Sugino No.5 crankset) it was probably around $175 US. I seriously doubt it would have been over the critical $199 price barrier.
