Going by the inconsistent spacing and angles on that 1984 PCB, I'd almost guarantee that it was routed using black tape on mylar film, not a CAD package to be seen. Trying to create large fills back then would require manual positioning of tape over all of the copper fill areas. Tools is a big part of the reason for the shift, it's easy now, and the results are generally much better.
