Off the top of my head, I believe the 1 stands for 1975 or later, the 70 stands for Rochester, and the 5 stands for the last digit of the year, so 1975.

Anyone have a better memory or want to actually look it up?

Best way to tell the date is the last 4 numbers that come after the ones that you posted. For example: 3585 KV Would be built on the 358th day of 1975. KV would be the plant code I believe.
