There would be lots of reasons why 70's photo's look the way they are.

They use older less quality film, the paper it's printed on doesn't age well. Overall less colour accuracy. Auto focus didn't exist for most of the 70's until 1977. Lenses wouldn't be as accurate.

You'd really need some sort of filter that can replicate it, or at least do lots of manual work to manipulate the photo to generate those effects.
