Trek (Touring) model #?

I've sworn off buying restoration/flipping bikes many many times, and it's been over a year now since my last acquisition. In fact, I have to sell three keepers this summer.
Anyway, I was minding my own business when this fell out of the sky yesterday.

Anyone know the model name/number? Everything about it says "touring" to me except the side-pull brakes. Maybe "sport-touring", but don't remember that category back then.
I'm guessing it's late 70's, early 80's. Suntour shifters, Sugino triple crank. Reynolds something (mangled sticker, but I assume it's 531). 27" wheels: Rigina and Super Champion.

Funny thing, I've made two huge selling mistakes decades ago: late 70's Motobecane Mixte (their best), and an early 80's Fuji Touring IV.
This Trek is like the twin to that Fuji, same size, color, components (except brakes), condition. So, one mistake was just erased.
