Yes, 1 Kings 6 does state that the Exodus occurred 480 years before Solomon began to build the Temple. The latter event occurred ~938 BCE, and if one accepts the 480 years at face value, then they would be led to believe that the Exodus occurred around the year 1417 BCE. However, two important things need to be noted. First, 1417 BCE or the late 15th-early 14th century BCE must be shown as a suitable context for the Exodus through the historical records we have from the period and through archaeology, neither of which support this dating. Second, 480 is a multiple of two very symbolic numbers for the Hebrews, 12 and 40. 12 represents each of the tribes and 40 represents a large amount or long time, so it can be read that a long time prior to starting to build the Temple the Exodus of all the Israelite tribes occurred rather than a literal 480 years. Context is the key to everything, and if you're going to say something is true, you need to back it up with sufficient evidence to support your position against the burden of proof.
