it does look like a 1894 Stevens favorite .Almost need a catalogue as model #s change with barrel lengths and features ,but the action does look like the 94 favorite
Is there any other #s under the lever behind the trigger?
as for value its kind of all over the place
There is a 1894 favorite sleeved to 22lr on the antique EE thats handsomely refinished for 600 with out tang sight

Thank you. Behind the trigger there's "&" and then this "7x9" serial number.
I also have a question on the lever function - it facilitates the extraction, but does not #### the hammer, is that the way it supposed to be or is this an issue?

The hammer will be cammed back slightly, but not cocked. It is manual. The serial number is a batch or lot number, not a true sequential serial number.
It is a presentable 1894 pattern Favorite. The later 1915 version can be easily identified because it has a flat topped breech block, not the scalloped pattern.
.25RF ammunition is not readily available, so shooting it would be problematic.

At local gunshows ( when they happen again) this would draw about $350- try higher and might go as it looks pretty nice. My humble opinion.
Not really a serial number, more of a batch number to keep the rifles in a single batch from being put together with parts that they had not been fitted with. Pretty much no bearing on order of manufacture.
The cam surface should in theory be able to retract the hammer to half ####, or at least pull it back off the firing pin to prevent dragging the tip across the fired case. Wear is a thing, though. I doubt they were ever meant to actually go to full ####.
