How to find specs and serial number of MacBook after factory reset

I'm trying to dispose of my child's old MacBook but don't have the specs for it. I should have noted that before resetting it. I factory reset it so now if you start, it asks to choose a language. There is no serial number on the bottom case of this model A1278.
