I have nothing to cut it with that isn't going to mangle it at the moment. Last C&P I did I had a machinist use a lathe years ago.cut it open
I’ll gladly cut it open and post it here if you like.
My 'speculation' on date of manufacture, 302 day 2016, Julian calendar or 10/28/16. Below* is a link showing what I believe to be your UPF64R filter cut open, scroll. And seeing when that thread was started (9/20/16) and the date code on that can 20216, 202 day 2016 (7/20/16) it's also very likely 'imo' that filter also made 2016. Based on what I see as comparison to silicone adbv in link and all things considered 'I' might just use that filter. Obviously your call.
As regards the sealing gasket appearance at top, fwiw seen too many optical illusions on filter pics posted not to trust when OP says it's an optical illusion.

AC Delco PF64 VS AC Delco UPF64R Cut Open Oil Filter Pics... - CorvetteForum - Chevrolet Corvette Forum Discussion
C7 Tech/Performance - AC Delco PF64 VS AC Delco UPF64R Cut Open Oil Filter Pics... - I have searched high and low and couldn't find cut open pics of the AC Delco PF64 or the AC Delco UPF64R oil filters on the net. I was bored at work today and decided to do a side by side cut open comparison...

I can take a photo of it again. The gasket was fine after being removed and cleaned up.
I have a buddy with an exhaust tubing cutter I'm supposed to see next weekend. Let me see if that fits and if not I'll be in touch.

We stock these at work for GM vehicles the labels are different but the can is still blue on all of them. Haven’t seen a black AC Delco filter yet.
I think I started getting black painted filters about a year ago? Maybe more?
I’ve saw black AC DELCO filters factory installed at my work past 2 years now
COVID is making me lose track of time. I don't even what year it is anymore sometimes.
Good detective work on the date code. Another format to note.
No need for me, I believe/ed you. Once saw a pic posted of media with what many thought a hole on pleat, just a reflection off oil in between pleats.
I see nothing wrong with that filter and would use it with no qualms at all.
Heck, I recently put a filter made in 2015 on my daughters car and did not think twice about it.

It's extremely hard to believe this is not a damaged gasket
The OP said he scratched off the white coating on the rubber and there is no damage to the gasket. It's an optical illusion.
It was listed and sold by Amazon. Photo was the modern black can with the white and yellow label.
It works out within pennies to the price at Rockauto so I ordered one there.
I received dented oil filters from RA which included strips of paper claiming the the dents were OK and that the filters WERE NOT returnable.
Ask me if that was galling...go ahead, ask me.
It sharpened my picture of RA and Amazon suppliers and how they regard their customers. They are insulated. "You want a cheap oil filter...here's a cheap oil filter. Take us to court."
I reassessed the value of dealing with KNOWN retailers.
Gotta add that the "12 o'clock gouge" in post #1 is THE BEST optical illusion I've ever seen.
