Worse, it's probably an emulation of a Unix mainframe running the original Cobol code - with the emulator running in machine generated JavaScript in Nodejs on AWS...

No, more likely it's a newer IBM mainframe, as those are built to be backwards-compatible with software written back in the 60s.

A large bank in the uk runs their core software on AS400s emulating a 1401. Their ledger software is almost 60 years old.
