It is impossible to figure the manufacture date of a Cinelli from the serial number alone. A interview I read from one of their frame builders in the 70s said that whe a frame was done the builder would call over to the business office and someone would provide a number. The serials are mostly the four digits and stamped under the bottom bracket ( for pre Colombo bikes anyway)

The best way to figure manufacture date is to look for hallmarks like the three hole lug, sometime after 1968, or the oil port, before 1968, etc. Components can also help.
