How does one find the manufacturing date of the discs?

Cut it open and count the rings

If you turn the disc over, you can actually count the rings without needing to cut into it! This lets you skip having to glue the disc back together after checking the age.

If you have the dvd case, it's in the back of it, at the bottom somewhere

No, it is not. I just scrutinized half a dozen DVD cases with a magnifying glass. They had copyright dates, but no disc manufacturing dates.
I wonder if the numeric codes printed around the hubs of the discs can be decoded into manufacturing dates.

Huh, if that doesn't work there are a few websites that will show you info about when the dvd was released
-
Unfortunately, that doesn't help, since most DVDs in the world were not manufactured in the first production run.

Sorry that wasn't clear, there are websites that let you look up info from the barcode
