I'd have to go back through the literature, but reuse was not something I heard talked about much at all when I first seriously started doing OO in the 90s.
With that said, reuse with OO today is not in a horrible state, no pun intended. Things can certainly be easier, but I think design is the bigger issue. And the problems I see suffer in functional designs as well as OO designs.

Maybe it was an '80s thing, but I recall "reusable software components" being touted as the industry savior. OO was all about reuse then.
