I just had a Back-UPS of about 1998 vintage burst into flames about 6 months ago. Luckily, someone was near it and grabbed a fire extinguisher. It was a Saturday, and if this person hadn't been in on overtime, who knows what would have happened.
Geez... I have a UPS for my admin-workstation just under the desk on the floor in front of me. Suddenly I feel a bit anxious about that...
Looking again at the incident report, I think the unit might have been even older. It was the older Back-ups with the white metal case instead of black. It could have been mid-90's. Before me no one kept track of a lot of that stuff.

Yupp, that's the ones we had, the beige-white models. Bought those in around 2002-2003. Looks like APC really did send us units from their really old batches...
