it says "Sente simulator system" not "Sente System"

This game uses a complete moving cabinet, which is probably what they mean by 'simulator system'

That specific piece of text there has no bearing on the actual release date (actually the game was never released, so there was no release date)

It's not possible to gauge from that flyer if the game even existed at that time (in 1984) because there are no screenshots or anything else present. Sometimes promotional material (such as flyers) is produced before the game.

Given the original lead programmer of the project, Owen Rubin, has his own page + a write-up about this game along with a copyright date of 1986, I'm more willing to accept that as the actual date and include it into MAME than the blanket 1984 copyright mentioned for the flyer. That hardware, as Haze mentioned, is not the original Sente System (SAC-1) but in fact (SAC-2 - essentially SAC-1 + a 68000 to control the cabinet motion), which apparently was the only game that even remotely close to being released for it.
