"Since the 1980's" is correct because you're grouping the whole decade together as one unit. And since that decade only happened one time in all history, you would use "the" to refer to it.

The decades are normally referred to using words, not digits.
For example:
Since the twenties.
Since the sixties.
Since the eighties.
But:
Since 1920.
Since 1960.
Since 1980.
You shouldn't put 's because you don't intend to use the possessive.
