There is only a 7136M in 1982. I do think this machine is older than that. Also I like to know where the M is standing for. ...
If it is older than that, it is probably only a few years, if that. Do you have an original manual? The only free ones that I could find were for other machines in the 7100 series and were dated 1979. The "M" after a model number just indicates the factory (Monza, Italy) where the machine was made. Other such designations can be found at https://cyndykitt.com.au/machines/id-02.htm

It was a domestic machine so used to make clothes and other things that one would use a domestic machine for.

I cannot find the notches.

Sometimes I am capable of getting the bobbin thread, but after that I can't make any stitches after turning the wheel five times the machine is jammed. ...
There is a picture of the bobbin case at https://www.amazon.com/Desk-Daves-ID.../dp/B07NKKWQ4X that shows where the notch is. The first image would be like looking at it from behind and from the handwheel end. Maybe a dental mirror would help see the notch if you are sitting at the machine normally.
