That style Maryland plate was issued from 1975 to 1980, if the serial is red, or 1980 to 1986, if the serial is black. The serial looks black to me.
There is a revalidation sticker on the plate so that cuts out the first year in each range and the space between the letters and numbers is not as wide as used for the 86 plate.
So my guess for the year of the photo is between 1981 and 1985 but it could be between 1976 and 1980.

Great analysis. Curiously, I’m seeing red in the serial.
