I was afraid of ruin my device, but I gave it a try anyway, and found popping off the back panel really easy and did not feel it harmful. I also don't want anyone to blame me for breaking his reader, so do it your own risk :-)

That's where I found the number mentioned above.

There is no sticker there in mine, my barcoded number sticker is on the right side a bit lower than middle of the board.

OK, so it does not require disassembly: my unit made in Taiwan :-)

The battery has no date on it (but funnily it says "rechar9eable"), I found the mentioned date print on the removed back panel. (REALLY hard to spot, because of the unfortunate choice of ink colour)
