  Asahi Pentax on the top middle. It should have a model designation, such as "KM" or "K2" looking at the front, upper left.

To open the back, pull up on the film rewind knob, on the left top of the camera as you look at it from the back.

You can download a free user manual from this link: http://www.pentaxusa.com/docstore/index.cfm?show=6. SLR models are listed beginning about 1/3 of the way down the page.
