I have a 34401A with a current calibration certificate.  Last calibration date was in 2000.  Calibration count 279.  Here is the voltage calibration data:

So it had annual calibrations for a number of years until 2000--with a significant number of adjustments--and then it has been checked without adjustment since?
A 3.5 digit 4.5 digit 5 digit 5.5 digit 6.5 digit 7.5 digit DMM is good enough for most people.

It appears that way, or the date wasn't updated.  I purchased it with a fresh calibration certificate and they stated it did not need any adjustments.
