An ‘80s bike for sure but yes late ‘80s! Definitely going with the 1988 suggestion. Headbadge code and frame # will provide more info. Depending on date of final assembly (headbadge) it’s possible...

It looks like a 1988 Le Tour. There should be a four digit number stamped into the head badge. The first three digits are the day of the year, the last is the year. Mine is 0888, so March 17, 1988...

Keep in mind that if you are having it serviced by your LBS, they will probably want to simply bin your freewheel. If you are running the Accu Shift RD on index shifting, there's no modern freewheel...
