Hello Aldot I assume you are referring to the code part of the “Model/Type/Code” prefix, if this is true I think this indicates the date of manufacture as 11 June 1996. I think, but may be wrong that 7FA indicas the Assembly line and manufacturing plant.
FA is the US state prefix for Florida, perhaps B&S have, or had a plant in Florida with up to 7 lines, this is just my guesswork no supporting evidence of this.
