My relatively meager experience agrees - the 20gal tank I first put up two
years ago, was bought by my mother before she got married.  I'm almost 22,
which says the tank is probably from the early-mid 1970's.  It's in great
shape.  The internal bead of silicone does show some wear and tear like
LeighMo mentions, but the internal seal looks good.
