I can find no reference of an actual Turing test being done for Eliza. If you look at the link from the article it is clearly demonstrably failing their (different, and more difficult to interpret, but still fair I thiiiink) runs today as well. Note that people constantly willfully misinterpret what a turing test is.

A turing test means you enter into two conversations. Then you pick which one was with a computer. If people answer wrong 50% of the time, the computer is indistinguishable, hence it passes. Note that it is not "People get wrong whether their single conversation is talking to an AI >50% of the time" and it is definitely not "sometimes people don't realize they're talking to an AI". In particular people constantly write about the latter because it generates clicks.
