Nasty little surprise

Changing out a light in my duplex and...does anyone know when this became illegal? I know my place was built circa 1923-1927 and remodeled in 1945. I don't think this cheap aluminum and plastic fixture is seventy-plus years old.

@Jim K.

Dont change the fixture. Fasten it back and pretend everything is OK.
