My PDP-8/E from about 1972 won't even be close to the oldest, but it is
running.  Running right now, in fact, though I think it has an
interrupt problem, with an RX02 and an ASR33 (which is probably older
than the -8 is).

Apart from that I have a Motorola MK6800D2 from 1975, a PDP-11/03 from
1975 or '76, and a KIM-1 designed in 1975 but probably made about 1977.
