I'm sure you know this, but that would be one of the earliest Japanese Squiers. Fender reintroduced the brand when they bought out a load of Japanese clone manufacturers to stop them copying their guitars (Gibson tried to sue them out of existence instead I think).
Interesting guitar - I think some of them have some value. History here:

I still have my first electric guitar. It’s technically my sisters hence why I’ve never got rid of it. It’s a sunburst squire strat. I recently got it out to do some research on it, turns out it’s a 1981-1984 made in Japan squire. Apparently everything is Fender, just assembled in Japan with cheaper pickups. I plugged it in the other day for the first time in years and the electrics are fucked! Nice to know it’s actually a solid guitar though and worth keeping. Also it ways a ton and I hate strats.
