It depends on the thread. Very often, the necropost comes as a piece of advice that would have been useful years ago (possibly only applicable to an old version of software e.g. calibre) and posted with a complete disregard to whether or not anyone cares.
In an odd example, I reported a necropost that was someone's offer to organize Kindle "My Clippings.txt" for $20 -- a couple of years later. That one was wrong on so many levels....
I imagine the mods take their best guess as to whether it "feels" right as part of the old thread. There are no hard rules, you just know it when you see it.
