The market normally sets the value, but most El Degas acoustics I see fetch somewhere around $100-250 depending on the model, condition, and whether it is MIJ (made in Japan) or MIK (made in Korea).
I started ElDegas.com many years ago to help celebrate and inform about El Degas instruments. It all started with a used Ric 4000 bass copy I bought in circa 2000.

El Degas stable as of 03/2022: 42 :shock: (13 bass, 26 electric, 3 acoustic)

If this guitar was probably made in Japan because it was in the early 70's .Do you think that Japan is correct?
I would like to sell it.

If I saw the headstock logo and sound hole label I might be able to discern where it was made.
I do think it is likely MIJ.
