I'm a little concerned about your leg length and the size of thea frame. If your legs are long, maybe its OK. I'm 5'9" with medium length legs (I wear 30" long jeans). If i rode that bike and jumped off, I'd be singing a whole lot higher notes. I can ride a 18" vintage frame. You need to be sure that top tube doesn't cause a sex change.
As for the year, I'd guess early 90s. Back then Mongoose made some good MTBs. I've had a couple and don't consider them to be any better than the other good brands, but certainly on par with the others. Then Pacific and Dorel got involved and we all know what happened.
If the bike is working well, I'd say it's worth about $100.
