I’m trying to figure out what model of Sekai it is and what year it was built if possible from the Serial number.

The serial number is M4B02087

I have attached some photos here to see if that helps.

There are no stickers as to exact model except for a Sticker saying “Racing series”
Based on the brake calipers, in conjunction with the Tange #1 tubeset and S/N, it is a 1984 Sekai 5000 Superbe manufactured by Miki of Japan and designed by Norco of Canada. In the future, please take the overall picture from the drive side, as it allows identification of the derailleurs and crankset, which facilitates determination of the bicycle model.
