I'm researching further but have not (yet) found a Fairbanks Morse water heater age key. From your serial number my guess would be 1979.
Fairbanks Morse & Co. produced a remarkable range of products from radios and pumps and water heaters to washing machines and railroad locomotives.
Fairbanks Morse & Co, (Chicago IL USA) with offices in Australia, England, and in many cities across the U.S. and Canada, starting as a scale manufacturer, was a large 20th century manufacturer of heavy equipment including railroad engines (12-cylinder Fairbanks-Morse Model 38D engine) and smaller engines such as the Fairbanks Morse 2,3, and 6 horsepower "Z" throttling governor engines.
Wikipedia's current article on Fairbanks Morse cites 3 entities:
Fairbanks Scales is a privately owned company in Kansas City, Missouri, that manufactures scales.
Fairbanks Morse Engine (FME), a subsidiary of EnPro Industries, is a company based in Beloit, Wisconsin, that manufactures and services engines. - Website: www.fairbanksmorse.com/about-us
Fairbanks Morse Pumps is a part of Pentair Water in Kansas City, Kansas, and manufactures pumps.
Currently (as recently as 2019) Fairbanks Morse Pumps were produced under the Pentair name (well pumps & ejector pumps).
It would be helpful if you could add an image of your Fairbanks Morse water heater and a closeup of each of its data tags or labels - one image per comment.
The only image of a Fairbanks Morse water heater we've found is from this 1946 advertisement
