No - it indicates how many times it has shed. Each time a rattlesnake sheds its skin, it leaves behind an extra 'button' on its rattle. Since young snakes can shed three or four times a year - it's not an indication of age.

What is the different sum-of-the-year digits method versus the straight line method?

The sum-of-the-year digits method is an accelerated depreciation method that allocates a larger portion of the asset's cost to the early years of its useful life, while the straight-line method evenly distributes the depreciation expense over the asset's useful life. As a result, the sum-of-the-year digits method results in higher depreciation expense in the earlier years and lower depreciation expense in the later years compared to the straight-line method.
