Welcome. You are correct that it was probably manufactured in late 1937 or possibly early 1938. The dates listed are the dates that those serial numbers were allocated for that type of machine. It does
not mean that was the day the machine was actually made.
There were several varieties of 15 class machines. The most common for home use would probably be a 15-90 or a 15-91. Does it have a motor? Is the motor built into the machine? Does the motor have a belt? Is it a hand crank? Is it a treadle?
A good source to figure out which domestic Singer sewing machine you have can be found at

Including Images and Attachments (as of 24 Jan 2020) has a pdf on how to post pictures. From my understanding the files need to be smaller that 2MB, rather than the 5MB listed. Another thing to remember is to click on the
"Upload" button that you will probably need to scroll over to the far right to find.
