Can it be assumed that this same website has been in place since 1978? Obviously not exactly like it is now, but probably not far off.

HTML being from the early 90s or so, I wanna say "no."

I wonder what the logic for the 1978 date is. It's hard for me to believe they had any reasonably connected predecessor of this in 1978.

It’s the copyright for the entire website. There’s a letter to shareholders written March 14, 1978 - https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/1977.html
I'd assume not, given that Tim Berners-Lee hadn't invented HTTP yet.

But, the website looks rather similar to how it did back in 2001 (with the recognizable two-column list of bullet points):
