So, as this article seems to indicate, this is not the baddest of the sunspots ever?

You'd need to take that up with the author of the article.

Oh, and I don't think anyone would know the answer to your question, since the sun is about 4.5 billion years old give or take a few years.

So they say. HA!

When I was stationed in Teheran, we had a solar observatory on the grounds of our HF receivers site so we would know when the sun’s activity was about to destroy the HF communications links with Asmara and Scwetzengen. We could go very low in our frequencies to avoid some of the interference but not all of it.

I have seen far larger sun spots during the two years I was there than this thing.
