Most likely they will not report, and probably would not have at the original time of the loan unless you were in arrears (and you were not). They might not even have the old account info, especially if they have changed hands. It's horribly hard to get old deleted accounts to re-report, much less report for the first time.
If you somehow are able to have this report it would be great for your scores. It would add 27 years to your account age... which is immensely good. Being that it is paid, it won't do much for your mixed credit.
It would not be improper or illegal to ask. If it cannot be done... don't be all toooo upset. FICO08 is changing the way scores are calculated and it's the more recent history that will matter most.
Hope your friends can help you out with this.
