That said, in order to properly credit the affiliate's account properly, how difficult is it for the affiliate program to track & convert the traffic and/or sales sent via the old affiliate referral link codes, going back several years?

THANKS!
It is not hard to do for the provider of the affiliate software if they can get the exact information about the old linking code. We do this often when moving a program from for instance a nats based system to our MPA3 software.
