Gibson Vbass #on headstock 82821026

This is a black Flying V bass with a black pickguard. I purchased it from a friend that can't recall what year he bought it or how much he paid. He thinks it was late 70's It has 2 small scratches on the back and one on top of the headstock. Any idea of its age or value?
