Good catch. The date I gave of '82 won't hold up in court. It's based on what the sellers (plural) told me. I took parts from a 51cm frame and put them on an otherwise identical 57cm frame.
EDIT: Here are pics of the 51 cm donor bike, which the seller said was bought in '82 and I believe to be original except for the saddle:
