The last number of the serial number should be the year it was made. This won't help you with the decade only the year. So if you know it was from the 80's, 90's etc and the last number is 8 then you would know it 1988 or 1998 etc. Of course it might be really old and it wouldn't apply they started doing this in the 80's I think. Hope this helps!

If this doesn't help email the serial number to the Mercury website contact email. They will respond with the date!
