You didi great for less than $10!
Asahi (Pentax) gave their lenses part numbers, that were stamped in the back of the A/M button
Depeding on the characteristics.
37800 first model of 7 elements - Thorium element included
37801 second model (white dot on f/2) - Mechanical differences
37802 8 blade iris and coated - Late model, mostly super-multi coated, f/2 has number

By your S/N yours should be 37802 or 37801

f/2 is numbered and it has 8 blades so I guess it's 37802. thanks for clarifying.

Evolution of the Takumar 50/1.4 by Hannes Rothleitner, on Flickr

The SMC (only rubberized ring ones are SMC) here is 37908. The S-M-C (Super-Multi-Coated) is 37902. 37802 is a super-takumar with eight blades and perhaps also s-m-c coating. Recognizable by a blueish green coating.
