The SL stands for "selective light".
The original red plastic lens-release button tended to break easily. Most SLs that have been CLAed have had their lens-release buttons replaced with a metal one.
Be sure to check your SL to make sure the pentaprism isn't desilvering, a new one will cost hundreds of dollars.
Leicaflex was the name given to the first series of 35mm single-lens reflex cameras manufactured by Leitz. The various Leicaflex models were fully mechanical cameras marketed between 1964 and 1976.
The Leicaflex SL was a SLR made by Leitz from 1968 to 1974 as the second model of the Leicaflex series. In 1968, Leitz responded to the critics of the non-TTL meter of the original Leicaflex by introducing its successor the Leicaflex SL with a TTL meter. The SL designation in the name was an abbreviation of "Selective Light", the name chosen by Leitz for its implementation of TTL metering. This system metered a limited area represented by the viewfinder's central microprism spot.
In the tradition of Leica rangefinder cameras, the SL is a precision-crafted, robust tool made for the photographer who demands the utmost in durability and image quality and can work without modern conveniences.
Leicaflex was extremely durable, and superbly finished, but their appeal was limited by their failure to keep pace with the state of the art in SLR design, their somewhat limited selection of accessories, and their extremely high price in comparison with their Japanese competitors.

I once made the golden version of the GHOSTED FILIGREE, yes it is a really nice mod, but it should be mentioned that it requires a little work. ^^
