It's not the same code for 25 years but it's 25 years of accumulated code / changes / bandaids, vs the site starting over from zero.
It's still impressive as when developers try to do that, quite a lot of the time it ends up falling apart like jenga, so the fact that this website still works perfectly fine despite it being essentially like a pancake stack with different toppings, is impressive.
I certainly wouldn't be able to manage code like that. I already can't manage code I've written from just a couple months ago let alone a couple years.
