They stopped building the ReadyNAS NV+ back in 2011. In the very early days of (~2007-2008), they used the ethernet MAC address as the serial number. You appear to have one of those old units.
The warranty for the NV+ was 5 years for the original purchaser - so your warranty would be long expired.
It is possible to replace the PSU, though given the age of the NAS it might be better to switch to something newer. Any current NAS would be faster.
