LP tanks don't rot from the inside. The fuel is commonly referred to as a "sweet gas". A visual inspection of the welds and external rust should be adequate. Some places may hydro-test but I don't think it is common practice.
I remember a few years ago, I took some forklift tanks to be refilled at a welding supply store. I asked about the old date and the employee simply grabbed the etcher from the wall and inscribed the current date. I fill about 10-12 33 pounders a year. Nobody checks the date.
I think most accidents regarding propane are related to escaped fuel after it leaves the tank. Some of those can be horrendous because the vaporized gas is heavier than air and won't dissipate via normal ventilation. The gas likes to go into basements, sewers, and other underground spaces.
