Based on the serial number provided here the unit was produced in 2023, 38th week. The RBC is rated to provide 2-5 years of service life.
Which is based on usage, temperature, and environmental conditions. The RBC is designed to sustain 260 cycles subject to the same caveats as listed up above.
As it stands the customers RBC is at least 2.5 years old. Assuming the RBC was manufactured in January 01, 2023.
All original APC RBC have a production sticker affixed to the front of cartridge. The individual cells also have a manufacturing production sticker / embossed label.
You’ll probably find the RBC is made in the same year as the unit.
