Which of these numbers is not a perfect square?

Let's list a few sequential perfect squares.

Three of our numbers are on the list as perfect squares.

80 is between 64 and 81, which are the squares of 8 and 9. There aren't any integers between 8 and 9, so we know that 80 cannot be a perfect square.
