That was the joke. The episode was filmed during the season. It was inspired because it was Steve's last season, and he wanted to see a 'Threat Level Midnight'-centric episode. That's why if you look at people, they look older but they are dressed similar to earlier seasons. Like Jim doesn't look younger but his hair is styled like earlier seasons. They did the same in the Recyclops ep when they show Dwight interacting with older receptionists.
