Manually Adding a Device by Serial Number:

No. This is not an option. You need to log into your Apple ID on that device to associate it with Find My. That is the way Apple Designed it. An just think about it --if you could add any Serial Number, then so could someone else. This is for high Security & Privacy, on Apple's part.
