Are there any other photos?

I can't see if the guitar is a bolt on or set neck. If it is a bolt on, there is occasionally mention of the country of manufacture on the neck plate, which will be helpful.

The headstock logo being covered with tape also makes identification difficult.

The neck is a set neck so no manufacturing details.

The headstock looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/gXwd3

On this one, I'd guess it's likely a later MIK (Made in Korea) model, which puts it in the 80's or there about. If It's MIK the body is likely laminate (plywood). The reason I say it is likely MIK is that the headstock logo on a MIJ set neck model should be different in my experience (an inlaid logo that uses a connected, angular style that more closely emulates the classic Gibby logo).

I've been balking at giving pricing estimates since there are a lot of factors that play a part - your region, whether you have a motivated buyer, the condition of the guitar, et al. But I will say that the MIK models are generally less desirable and worth a smaller amount to a lot of buyers than the MIJ (Made in Japan) models.
