It's a tough one no doubt about it and as a rule of thumb 79 = pre serial and then from late 79 onwards pk2.
Pk3 = 80 etc etc. the last of the serials would be pk7 so 84.

A great way is to also use the original decals ( if the frames still have them) to determine it's age, the 79 decals were different to the 80 and 80 different to 81. Slight changes to the seat mast decal and shadowing on the down tube decal.

Id go with the above comments from Kindfunky , This below from the museum is just about as accurate as anyone has ever got too really from what I've read & researched .

2xxxx = mid 1979
3xxxx = 1980
4xxxx = 1981
5xxxx = 1982
6xxxx = 1983
7xxxx = 1984

The thing is nobody really knows !
