I agree with 1960's and would narrow it to an even 1960.
For space-bikes, Murray introduced that design about 1958, with "P" designator - so "S" reflects 1960.
Also, on the earlier Murray-built space bikes, they had not yet integrated the headlight into the tank; (just like your bike).
1961 Murray catalog pages above; "T" for that year's Missile, with 3-bar cantilever frame.
Your bike's serial number also ends with a "0" (as does 1960) but probably coincidental though.
