Evidence
I could not find very much information on this product, but what I did find was pulled from an AN78xx manual -
https://industrial.panasonic.com/content/data/SC/ds/ds4/AN7800_E_discon.pdf
and this website-
https://www.digchip.com/datasheets/parts/datasheet/353/AN7805.php
These references are how I know the information I found is legit. I was not able to find a date of the item's manufacturing, but I assume it was manufactured in the late 1980's or early 1990's, around the date of the manufacturing of the Super Nintendo.
