The Benjamin Sheridan C9A was made between 1993 and 1998. (The company's are owned by Crosman.) From 1998 to 2000 the 20 cal was named Sheridan and the .177 & .22 cal were called Benjamin. ( Same rifle just different calibers.) Originally Benjamin, Sheridan and Crosman were 3 different companies. Crosman now owns all 3. Benjamin bought out Sheridan before Crosman bought out Benjamin and merged them all into one company.
Trying to follow these name can really get confusing at times.

See the link below for the dates that they were made.
Sometime around 1980. In 1977 Benjamin bought out Sheridan and for a time they merged the names Benjamin/Sheridan.
It depends on the model, but usually it is right on the barrel or the receiver. If it is really old it may not have a serial number. For a time Benjamin and Sheridan did not serialise their rifles.

I know I'll regret answering this question because there is so much confusion regarding this rifle. Let me explain. At one time Sheridan, Benjamin and Crosman were 3 different companies. In 1977 Benjamin air gun company bought-out Sheridan and continued the Sheridan line. In 1992 Crosman air gun company bought-out Benjamin and kept both Benjamin and Sheridan lines going. Up until this time the serial numbering system was very poor for Sheridan. There is even confusion around the C, C9, C9A & C9PB as to when they were produced. Most Sheridan models were just marked "Sheridan" From 1949 to 1990 In 1972 serial numbering began with. #000000. As you can see yours had too many numbers to date it. I Think yours was made sometime after 1990. See the link below for dates of manufacture and you will see what I mean. Scroll down the page when it opens to the Sheridan section.
The serial number is on the left side of the loading port, in front of the model number. It may be under the black piece of rubber plastic.
Your rifle can be aged based on its serial number. Please see the link below.
You have given me all the information except the model. Sheridan has several different models at different prices
There are 3 versions of the Sheridan Blue Streak. See the link below for the 2nd version. BTW today Crosman owns the Sheridan and Benjamin line of air guns. This link is from Crosman
