+1 No real mystery it's a boom era UO-8 circa 76 or so as for price considering the fairly good condition the price of $125 is bout right. Since it has bad tires and is a bit aged will need service with new tires and consumable I would offer $75.

Record Du Monde translates to World Record.
Tubing is going to be Hi Tensile steel.

What does World Record denote since its not the model, Is it just a generic thing they added to most Peugeots?

Bianchigirll is spot on. With some brands you can use the changing brag stickers (palmares) to date the bike a little. For instance, I've got a Pinarello with this decal on the seat tube.
"Vincitrice" is Italian for "victor" and Giovanni Battaglin won the 1981 Vuelta and the 1981 Giro riding a Pinarello (but not this model). The main thing this decal tells me is that the frame is no later than a 1984 because Alexi Grewal won the 1984 Olympic road race gold medal on a Pinarello and that was added to decals for the 1985 models.
I don't think any such useful information is available from the Peugeot decal.
