It's the 2021 version. It should work fine.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer! I've purchased a Thermaltake Smart Series 500W. Is this the PSU you're currently using?
Smart 500W
Smart SPD-0500P – 500W 80 PLUS® Standard Certified APFC PSU
www.thermaltake.com
From this selection:
https://pcpartpicker.com/products/power-...0000000000
I’d consider this option;
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/bq6qqs/...mpg-a650gf
as a solid choice for your setup, giving you room to add a discrete GPU later.

Yes, that is the Thermaltake model I purchased. Thank you for the links! Considering the MSI is quite expensive, how would the Corsair CX650M perform in terms of reliability?

It's the most affordable option I suggest. It's not the top choice, but it offers a current setup. The model was released eight years ago.

Thank you for the idea about the Toughpower unit.
I'm eager to find out when the CX650M was bought. The packaging shown on eBay could be useful in determining its age:
