Yes, 78 has been the standard for a long time AFAICT, with 80 as the
hard limit only when absolutely necessary.  search://80 column rule/
will bring up lots of links about it.  This is one of the best:

  http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EightyColumnRule

As that resource (and others) note, it's not merely historical baggage
left over from old fixed-width terminals -- it's rather an accessibility
issue and human optimum-scanning-width issue.
