The headline is a straight up lie. As per the article itself, it was conceived of in 1966 and experimentally confirmed in 2020.

Not quite. If I understood correctly, Nagaoka predicted magnetism in a thin material with electron deficiency. This happened in a thin material with 50% excess of electrons, which arguably is different or at least something Nagaoka didn't exactly predict.
