I would’ve definitely guessed early 90s. Hell, the IBM Simon was introduced in 1994.

My very uneducated guess is that it looks like it was meant for the enterprise market, and judging by the way any other piece of enterprise hardware looks even today, design trends are like 10-15 years behind. And since you have to guarantee serviceability and backwards compatibility, the design will be much slower to change, compared to consumer tech.
