Yep, that really does happen. Easy to challenge for sellers who keep their old paperwork / emails handy - usually sending PayPal the delivery confirmation (or signature confirmation if $250+) number and, in some instances, related documentation (ie. proof of shipment / mailing receipt, which can be very important, since tracking numbers after much time are potentially recycled / irretrievable on-line) resolves such issues.
As to why it happens, not entirely sure ... but from what I've read, very old charge-backs, at least in the world of PayPal, can be the result of bankruptcy and/or divorce in which the party charge-back everything under the sun seeking to reduce their credit card debt and/or raise cash.
