I am not aware of any law prohibiting an employer from going back as far as it wishes. There are certain restrictions on how and when a public employer may use a conviction, but private employers are free to do as they please. If the conviction was for a lesser change the record may have been destroyed (25 years or more).

There is no law that limits an employer from making a thorough background search.
