If you gave us the model number, we’d be better able to give you a definite answer.

Do not give us your serial number. The model number typically starts with an M and has a / and a couple digits or letters after the /.

But you can also enter the model number into google and that’ll give you the machines specs and dates of production.

Also on Apple’s support site, you can check it’s warranty status. Put the serial number into the site to check the warranty info. While it’s warranty is obviously likely expired, the website will also tell you what date the machine was originally sold.

Click on the Apple in the upper left corner, and select "About this Mac..." First line should tell you what you need.

My guess would be a mid 2013 using the minimal information:
