Schwinn super le tour

Hi, I got this bike from my dad, and he thinks it's from 1982. It's in good condition and even has the original water bottle that came with it. It says Schwinn Super Le Tour cromoly 4130. Serial number is SA304135. I tried looking up the serial number to find more info and didn't have much luck. Does anyone have an info on it? Thanks!

Photo from the drive side would be more useful. It does look like something is not right with the RD spring tension, as the chain is sagging. Frame material decal and the top-tube lettering make me think 1983 or thereabouts. Look for a 4-digit number on the head badge. Last digit is the year within the decade, and first three are the ordinal/julian day within the year.

The first digit of the serial number indicates the year of frame manufacture, 3=1983. The letter A in the serial number is for the month, A=January.
