The easiest way to find out all the important specs at once - including the year the model was produced - is to ask for a screenshot of the "About This Mac" screen, found in the Apple menu. If you're buying a Mac from a private seller, you might need that person's help to get a detailed look at the computer before you make the purchase. As Macs with Intel chips are phased out in favor of Apple's own silicon, your used Intel-based Mac may start to encounter obsolescence sooner than you expect. Also, keep in mind that Apple is moving away from Intel processors. It's a good idea to not invest in a used Mac that is more than three years old, because Apple tends to support its computers for about six years. For a used Mac to be a good value, you want one that puts that obsolescence date as far in the future as possible. That means it will no longer be supported by Apple, and you won't be able to install OS updates and security patches.
