What is the difference between smoothbore and rifled shotgun barrels?

A smoothbore is cheaper and works just as well when using regular shot. A rifled shotgun barrel only helps if you are going to be firing slugs, but if you are it improves performance considerably, giving the slug near-rifle accuracy. If you can afford it and plan to be using slugs the rifled barrel can be well worth it and gives you much more versitility.

Well there is no Remington Model 12 shotgun, a model 12 is a 22 lr, they did make a smoothbore but it would have said so. A smoothbore model 12 is rare and valuable but I doubt that's what you have if it doesn't say smoothbore it's probably shot out.
