That's 7 years old. The first two numbers in the serial number are the year it was made.

So using it for a year or will be safe?

It doesn't harm anything. The PSU has proper protections. Thing is that the SS X-Series has the same shut down issues with recent high end GPUs like the SS Prime. Cutting the 12v sense wire solves this issue.

Are you sure it's YYWW on Seasonic PSUs? I thought for Seasonic it was YYMM. 2016 12th month (December).
