The earliest pressings are from 1978, in UK, US, Australia, Belgium and more. One of them is MPL R6020, released June 16, 1978.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use R6020, 4594, P-4594, A-11746) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 7YCE 21797 - 1 MASTERED AT ABBEY ROAD - NICK and 7YCE 21798 - 1 NICK. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
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.
