EDIT: The '89 catalog shows the same paint/decals as '88 and the specs are virtually the same except the rear derailleur changed to a Shimano 552 SIS with indexed shifting, while it still retained the same AX-50 front. My guess is that based on the mfg. date your bike is actually an '89 model. What rear derailleur does it have?
RD is a RD-R552 and the bike has indexed shifting.
