How can an audio engineer take a thirty-forty year old song that was recorded on analog tape? How is the data extracted and processed?

If they don’t have access to analog or digital versions of the original stems, I believe they will master the already mastered audio. This would be rare though. They would usually have these things available.
I imagine most big studios/labels have a process for digitising analog recordings for archiving and future use, and I would think they’d have a dedicated team working through it. This means they would probably have these things on hand or at least quite easily accessible when needed.
