The earliest pressings are from 1982, in US, Australia, Canada, Germany and more. One of them is Elektra E1-60107E.

How do I tell if my copy of Diner is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use E1-60107E, E1-60107, E1 60107, E2-60107) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 'ɑ' [Allied stamped logo] B-16604-A2 E1-60107-E-A-2-SH-AR + SLM △1287 ESR-MS-31182 and 'ɑ' [Allied stamped logo] B-16605-B3 E1-60107-E-B-3-SH-AR + SLM △1287-X ESR-MS-31182. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Diner on vinyl worth?

It depends on which pressing you have and on the condition of the record and its sleeve. Early pressings from the album's home country in near mint condition are usually worth the most; common later reissues are worth far less. Scan your copy with VinylLens to see its value for every grade.
