Your favourite search engine is all you need. The “CA” tells us the year and month.
Edit, after enlarging the BB image:
I now see it’s GA,not CA
so https://bikehistory.org/schwinn.php?serial=GA920421 tells us:
“Congrats! Your bike is an original Chicago Schwinn.
Serial number stamped on: 08/03 of 1959. Go to 1959 Schwinn catalog
Scroll down the catalog to see some plausible candidates.”
However, it doesn’t show the Schwinn World, even though that model existed. See https://bikehistory.org/bikes/world/?expand_article=1

Stamped 1959, but not necessarily built that year (probably close though).

I’m guessing this a is a Japanese or Taiwanese built Schwinn? Is there a model name? It might be easier to peruse the catalogs if the serial number doesn’t get you anywhere.
Show us the rest of the frame, please. It should be easily identifiable by referencing the catalogs. As someone else said, I’m guessing mid 80’s based on the color alone
