The industry was certainly aware of CFL lights as of 1997, so if a 1998 dimmer is not listed for use with CFLs, that means the maker made an active decision to not support things with electronic power supplies. This can be taken as a positive statement prohibiting use with LEDs. With a dimmer older than that, all bets are off.

It's a Lutron MA-LFQ35 and it does not appear to have any neutral wire running to it. The manual I found for the dimmer indicates that it is for Halogen/Incandescent lights.
