the number in question was issued to a person with a Connecticut return address on his application in 1976 or 1977

It means that it was originally issued then, but they do NOT reissue SSN's. These people did not die until a few years later. It looks like the earliest address associated with that number was in Massachusetts while he was attending Harvard - not far from Connecticut. Maybe he applied for it while at Columbia - you know while he was living just a few blocks away from the same guy that just happened to be living in the same neighborhood in a completely different part of the country and who just happened to share the same office building with him in another part of the big city.

They do not reissue SSNs.

Yes I'm aware that is the official government policy, at least up until now: when you die, your SS# does not get reissued to anyone else. Or at least that's the way it's supposed to be. Of course Big Brother is far from perfect in clerical tasks such as this.

Maybe he applied for it while at Columbia...

The year the SS# was issued is inconsistent with with his time at Columbia: it was issued in 1976 or 1977, while he was at Columbia from 1981 to 1983.
