I don't think the time of the story is an issue here... This is one of the timeless stories... and it truly shows how Shaitaan works. That is why Allah says in The Holy Qur'an "and follow not the footsteps of Shaitan" in a few different places. The keyword there is "footsteps", rather than just saying "Don't follow Shaitaan" or something like that.
