It pre-dates the slang term by quite a while, unless it was around back in 1989? I don't recall seeing that online until the last decade or so.

Wiktionary has it as far back as 1972, see https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/taint.

Dictionary.com claims it dates back to at least 1977, but I have no idea.
