its not worth it. You'll end up spending a good amount in legal fees as a judge will usually never do a record suppression without legal counsel present. (not fair, but the way it is in most states).

Either way, a misdemeanor should not hinder your life in any way. Employers and such usually only search for drug and or offenses of a violent nature. Especially since its a 38 year old charge; you've obviously learned from it and moved on.

You should also contact your state police headquarters and request a copy of your ACTUAL record, because it may not even be on your record at this point.

Do you have a criminal record if you plead guilty?

It depends on the magistrate or judge. If he/she records a conviction for the offence you were originally charged with, you will go on file and there you will stay unless you can bring about an over-turning of the conviction. See a lawyer for that if you feel you were poorly done by. Nowadays a conviction usually means fingerprints and maybe DNA on record.
