Where the data plate is on a range
Open the oven door or the storage drawer and look on the frame; slide-in ranges often carry it under the cooktop lip.
General guidance, not brand-specific: the owner's manual or the installer can point to the exact spot. See the data plate guide.
For scale only: the InterNACHI Standard Estimated Life Expectancy Chart for Homes lists Electric Range / Gas Range at 13 to 15 / 15 to 17 years of expected service (nachi.org). That chart is a guideline, not a prediction for your unit.
