Um.... All electrolytics eventually go bad as the electrolyte solution dries out eventually. Re-capping retro computers and radio gear from the 70s through the 90s is very much a thing.
That being said, electrolytics were somewhat less common than they are now. But the Capacitor Plague is not the only reason electronics are recapped, especially older/vintage/retro electronics.
