Bianchi expert - help needed

I have been asked if I am interested in this Bianchi. I really don't know much of anything about Bianchis but I noted it has tubular wheels so I figured it must not be bottom of the line and worth a look. No decals to indicate model or tubing. Serial number on tag on bottom of bottom bracket looks like 5 9 (straddling front derailleur cable) then 3.8.404. Does that tell me anything? I think the shell is 68mm. Campy dropouts, seatpost, headset, derailluers. Cinelli bar and stem. Galli brakes, levers, crank, pedals. Miche front and rear hub. Fork definitely needs to be realigned. There is no obvious to me frame damage. I read thru a lot of an old thread on serial numbers and don't remember anything like what is on the frame and I expected to find the serial number on the seat lug. Otherwise, I got the impression there wasn't a lot of rhyme or reason to Bianchi serial numbers. Parts alone may be worth what I think I can get it for but is this special enough to have the fork realigned and do all the other necessary work, of which there is a lot? What is it? Thanks.
