Thanks for clarifying the backdate thing, that's my bad - I guess "RS modification" would be a better description, although as stated it isn't a particularly full one.
I realised that an engine rebuild is about $10k usd, so if that hasn't been done I'll need to factor it in? How would I go to test how "far gone" the engine is, a simple compression test? Or should it be taken apart by a specialist?

SC was 78-83. It's just been made to look a lot like a 74 Carrera.
Engine rebuild it going to be more than that if you are paying for labor on it. Probably closer to $15k these days.
Compression test is a good start, but SCs are known for breaking case studs. Part of a PPI on it should involve removing the valve covers and testing the studs.
Even if the brakes and shocks are good, it will likely need a ton of bushings.
