1959 to 1989
According to the Remington website, there are three possible years for the manufacture of your Remington UMC 380, with a serial number of PA 50795. Those years are 1995, 1968, or 1923.
Made in 1918. 100 years old this year.
Many Remington rifles manufactured prior to 1968 did not have serial numbers. You can find a date code on the left side of the barrel near the breech. The Remington Society website http://www.remingtonsociety.com contains a page that contains a listing of the date codes and their corresponding months and years.
Remington firearms are dated from a 2 or 3 LETTER code stamped on the left side of the barrel, very close to the frame. The Remington Collector Society webpage has the table of letters and years.
They only way to do it it is to comb through all the serial numbers of all the different types of shoutguns Remington has made the past 150 or so years. Remington.com has a history section in its Sportsman's Library that you might be able to use to narrow it down.
I bought my used Black Nylon 66 about 12 years ago for a little more than $100. Of course there are several versions of this rifle in different colors of plastic and different magazines. I hear the clip-fed version is not as diserable.
They went from A,B,C etc every 5 years starting in I believe 1970 BUT they all are date code stamped ;) See related links for information on the Remington Society of America.
Remington used a series of letters stamped on the barrel to indicate month and date of manufacture. IF the barrel is original to the gun, that should give you a pretty close answer. Letters are on the left side, just forward of the receiver. The Remington Collectors website has a chart of the letters, and the corresponding years.

Yes, I believe it does. I have worn silk or nylon for many years.
