Your pic shows traces drawn by hand by an engineer. You're looking at multiple days of work at $50-$70 an hour. Autorouting takes little more than importing footprints, connecting them in the right order and clicking autoroute, which, as the other anon said, wasn't really there yet in the 80s.
By the way, curved traces are still rare in modern EDA software, only rather expensive suites feature it, such as Eagle and Altium.

bendy traces were done by hand
modern traces are done by human-guided autorouting
