Those are vanity addresses. You can generate a legacy P2PKH address with a few funny letters in the start fairly quickly using a GPU (see vanitygen-plusplus https://github.com/10gic/vanitygen-plusplus). I tried generating a Taproot vanity address but to no success since it doesn't support GPU acceleration for that yet so it was slow.

Yes it seems reusing address was more common back then
