Do they go arbitrarily far back, or cut off at some point? (I have a 2013 Air I've barely used for years... Should've thought of it sooner.) The site just lists model names for the Macs, which is oddly non-granular compared to the iPhones by number: https://www.apple.com/uk/shop/trade-in

There's an estimator below where it says "Select your device for an estimate", and it walks you through a serial number thing and then gives you an accurate estimate. I think it does cut off at a point but I'm not sure when, and it's not the same for all devices.
Apple's trade-in program is pretty good. My 2012 MacBook Pro was still tradeable in 2019 for something like 400 bucks. I would consider that also if you don't want to abandon the Apple ecosystem.
Before having to use a Mac for work I preferred a P53 and an X1 as work laptops, but honestly now that I'm forced to use macOS again I don't miss Linux at all. Would be great to be able to choose though, but I'm kinda locked on Xcode because it's our build system.
