I hate to disagree with our esteemed moderator, but it is my understanding that the magnets used in guitar pickups are actually very stable over time--pickups of this age would, I believe, have 99+% of their original magnetism.
I can find a source for the above if you'd like, but I think that it's Bill Lawrence.

I'm no scientist, but I think putting any definitive % on what is out there is no more accurate that picking a number out of thin air. It's my understanding that magnetism can be effected many by factors that will vary from one magnet to the next (i.e. outside factors which effect the electrons of the magnet). I think if you research it, you'll find that a magnet's magnetic field strength can suffer from degradation over time even is some of the more ideal environments.
