Google Search does let you limit the results to old sites (though I realize this isn't quite equivalent).

  A time-lapse of the search algorithm is what I would like to see

    Given that the set of possible searches is unbounded, first instinct is that the whole system would have had to be designed around that use case from the bottom up for the problem to be remotely tractable

      a git history of Google's code would suit me

  At the very least, I wish they would update the UI for that. Every time I want to use it, it's like 4-5 clicks and very hard to use. I wish they could just give a nice timeline and let you slide across a given range, and maybe also see a graph of the activity (basically like Google Trends)

    There's a good chance that the additional clicks are deliberate. Certain queries are a lot more resource-intensive than the average and it's not very difficult to turn Google Search into a money losing business, even with the ads.

  A bit off topic: The Google's feature requires me to input date on MM/DD/YYYY format even though locale is ja-jp (We NEVER use it). When I just wrongly input "2021/04/16" to field and search, they even don't show format error, but show the result of 184/05/04. What??? I believe it never tested by locals. I've sent report but of course no response.
