One argument to mark old/invalid links differently somehow is that the wayback machine at archive.org may still have them.
But when the domain has been transferred to a 3rd party, it is possibly harmful.
Another option might be to grab any archive.org content and put it into a Documentation/archived/outdated directory or the like.
For instance:
https://web.archive.org/web/20090423133742/http://www.handhelds.org/projects/h1940.html
Then gain, this might as well be prehistoric content.
