The Martin D-28LSH (large soundhole) was made in 1991. Only 211 were sold (200 domestic and 11 foreign). The underside of the top is signed by C.F. Martin IV and company employees. The label is signed by Les Wagner, who retired in 1991 after 47 years with Martin. The original MSRP was $4398.

It will have an adjustable truss rod, allowing you to easily adjust the neck relief and that may help with some of the string buzzing. The center seam separation would probably take care of itself with proper humidification. The guitar in the condition you are describing is worth about half what your friend feels, thinks or would like to get.
