Alex showed you how to parse the parts of the selected text. Here's how to put the parens around the year.
set x to "Last-Name, 1999" set text item delimiters to "," set y to text items of x
repeat with i from 1 to 2 try set q to item i of y as integer set b to "(" & q & ")" on error set a to item 1 of y end try end repeat set text item delimiters to space set z to {a, b} as text
