SN begins B7, but I can't make out what's after that.
The decals most closely resemble a 1983 Schwinn le tour.

The serial number starting with B7 is a frame manufactured in February 1987.

As you have noted the frame looks very much like a Prelude model.

Edit: The serial number is from Greenville, Mississippi.
