Quote from 102 is "They must have found this thing when they Salvaged MIR-3 in 2102. You want me to get a 130-year-old escape pod ready to stand up to the inferno of re-entry in 9 days?" So, what that means is pod was was build ~130 years ago and salvaged by the Ark in 2102. Year built or current year is never given.

Season 1 takes place in 2149. There is various information given through the first four seasons confirming that. Furthermore, the writers have confirmed on social media exact year (see links in references section).
