I don’t know the year of it as I have not searched the serial number. I’m guessing is early 70s
The only concern with steel shot in that gun would be the choke. It is likely a full choke which you should get bored out to at least modified to safely handle the steel shot. The gun should be stamped on the left side of the barrel just ahead of the receiver with the choke it has
