Well, the web site https://mirror.cs.uchicago.edu/google-chrome/pool/main/g/google-chrome-stable/[1] has versions of google-chrome going back to 12 December 2018 (71.0.3178-98.1). So if you want an older version of google-chrome you can probably find it there. I don't have time to do it right now, but you ought to be able to create an ebuild for say https://mirror.cs.uchicago.edu/google-chrome/pool/main/g/google-chrome-stable/google-chrome-stable_140.0.7339.127-1_amd64.deb[2] in a "local" overlay and use emerge to install it. Maybe I'll try to cook that up tomorrow. Use the ebuild in /var/db/repos/gentoo/ google-chrome/ as a template and change "SRC-URI" to point at the Google Chrome version you want.
