It says manufactured 5-00
The 5 is fifth month which is May and 00 is the year 2000
It was made in May of 2000.
I think by looking at the model number it is 13 cu ft.
This sounds as if its a start relay problem. They are attached to the compressor You will need the model and serial number to get a new one at the appliance parts store. They are usually under a plastic cover on the side of the compressor and the cover is retained by a metal spring clip. Remember to unplug unit before replacing this part. The model and serial number should be located near the compressor.

go to this site. It has info that you can contact them and just give them your model and serial and they can tell you. It's just that easy.
Hope it helps.
If your chest freezer is less than 50 years old, it does not have a fan. Cooling coils contact inner walls of freezer compartment, warm coils dissipate heat through outside walls of freezer. If compressor runs, temp is 30+ degrees, gasket is OK, lid not left open, then you have one of two contions: 1. Low capacity compressor 2. Refrigerant leak. Solution to either is to replace freezer. (My opinion: Don't get a Kenmore brand, which generally ties you into poor warranty and slow and poor service.) No matter what brand name is on the freezer, it is most likely manufactured by Electrolux (in St. Cloud, MN) or Haier (from China). Look at the model / serial number plate before purchase to see where it was manufactured. Yes, the USA manufactured ones are better. (and I'm not just saying that because the plant is less than 15 miles from where I am sitting right now)
A freezer this old will be difficult to find any information on.
There is another number that you might have more success with. Look at the back of the freezer, and there should be a removable plate that will allow access to the compressor. There should be a manufacturer's tag on the compressor with model#, serial#, date of manufacturer, etc for the compressor itself. With the freezer being as aged as it is, the compressor manu. may not have information there either.
Cubic feet can be eyeballed, or measured out. take a tape measure and measure the width of the interior compartment. Then measure the length, and height. For this purpose, ignore the hump or box where compressor sits. Length * Height * Width = cubic feet (if you measured in feet). If you want a more exact number, also measure the compressor hump as well, and subtract that number from the first.
Check the relay located on the compressor on the back of the unit. Sounds like the relay is not completely shutting down the compressor. Almost like it is still allowing electrical currents to get to the compressor
only reason refrigerent may be needed is that there is a leak so adding more will achieve nothing. unlikely to be needed. i assume compressor is running. probable causes of no cooling are compressor fault or a blockage in the pipe sysyem. not diy
