Does anyone know exactly what this fireplace stove is worth currently ? And are they still making them ? Here’s a picture of the back plate , but google wasn’t popping up any information on it ?

It’s worth as a heater is probably not much. Old, rusty, and probably in need of some repair. I’d say not worth anything.
 
Condition is everything when selling old stoves. It all comes down to what somebody else is willing to pay, and what laws will allow you to install.
 
It's likely from the late 1970s or early 80s. Is this a double-door model with glass windows? If so, it has slightly higher value because it is UL tested, a name brand (Selkirk) and the label is intact. This is not the best time to sell, demand is low, but in fall it might go for $250-300. Cleaning it up with a wirebrush, and then painting it with Stove Brite satin black paint will help boost its visual appeal.
