do shell script "system_profiler | sed -n 's/.*Serial Number://p'

This is the first part of the call:

/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPHardwareDataType

because as J. Welch implied, the full path saves a lookup.

Even still, if I amend your script to:

do shell script "/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | sed - n 's/.*Serial Number://p'"

it doesn't return the correct result.
