If you're running Yosemite or later, click Apple symbol (top left) -> About This Mac & it's there.
There's a freeware app from Micromat, the makers of TechTool Pro, called MachineProfile which will give detailed information…
It can even give away anomalies - for instance, my machine shows as a 2010 (which should make it a 4,1) & yet it registers as a 5,1. That's because it's had a hardware upgrade to 2012 spec.
