You probably don't. Unless the model and manufacturer's name is painted or decalled on it, you will have a lot of trouble finding out this info for most mass-produced bikes. Even if you know the make and model, serial numbers are rarely decodable. Your best bet is to try to find your bike in an old catalog copied and posted on line. This is still difficult as so many mountain bikes have been produced by so many manufacturers and under many different names. Good luck.
Your best bet is probably to head over to http://bikepedia.com/Search.aspx?Q=haro&Sub=bikes and start looking for your bike in that list.

That's not determined by the bike, but by the make & model of the brakes used - and that can change between the different versions/build year of the bike. If you look at your bike there's usually a brand name on the brake, possibly a model name too. That'll help you figure out which type of pads to get.
In 1979 the first official mountain bike was launched. Tom Ritchey of Redwood city, California started building fat-tire frames. The Lawwill Pro Cruiser was the first mountain bike which was sold for $500 overseas.
