Sometimes I add it if editing anyway. Some stories can end abruptly or ambigiously and you wonder on the ebook is it broken or did you skip. On paper it tells you a last page isn't missing.
So I'd never remove it.
There are brand new stories that have "The End", as it's not about old-fashioned, but a style decision. I've plenty of pre-WWI paper books that don't have "The End".
