Something similar actually happened to me. Somebody called me about a job application I submitted through craigslist/email 6-7 years ago. This was while I was a student. I had to tell the lady that I don't even live in the same area.
A number of years ago I was internally referred to a role at one of the FAANGs. When speaking with the recruiter or hiring manager they seemed pretty confused at why I was even qualified. Eventually I asked them what address was written at the top of the resume they were looking at.
"Ah yes. You seem to have a copy of the resume I entered into your system fresh out of high school."
To note: She did not get a reply, it was returned. I was really hoping someone actually replied

Obviously this is nowhere near 48 years.

I've seen companies that would consider this a timely response.
