That is really old. Older than Atilla the Hun probably. But I once used this in a game against a 5th grader. He was laughing because I hung my Queen and didn't see the smothered mate. Then the tables turned.
If you play chessmaster 9000,you can see this checkmate when you open the program in the starting video,with only 8 pieces on the board.It is the same.
This is a classic puzzle. Not the exact position, but the moves. I don't know why I posted this.
