I would like to use an old development kit that has a Stratix S80 (EP1S80B956C6) FPGA on it. Do you know if the older free versions of the Quartus II support this device?

I don't think the Web Edition has ever supported Stratix series devices. I took a look in Quartus 9.0sp1 Web Edition and 9.01sp2 Subscription Edition (which I use for FLEX10K devices), and they list the Stratix devices as "(not installed)". I probably did not install the package in the Full Edition, however, I don't think the Web Edition lets you select anything, so its likely not installed there either.
File an Altera Service Request and ask them. Let them know you have an evaluation board that you'd like to test. Perhaps they will provide a board-locked-licence. You could also just try the Full Edition, I think it gives you a 30 day evaluation period.
Quartus 11.1sp1 lists the Stratix device you mention, so if 12.0 Full Edition does not support the Stratix series, try the last version of the 11.x series.
