Common Errors in English Usage Dictionary:
50’s
There’s no requirement for the apostrophe
before the “S” in decade names like 50s and 60s,
since there are no omitted letters,
though it’s also acceptable to include one.
The term may be written “’50s”
since “19” is being omitted,
but “50s” is fine too.
Writers who wish to have their references to decades
clearly understood in the twenty-first century
would be well advised not to omit the first two digits.
Note that
you may have to turn off “smart quotes” in your word processor
to get a leading apostrophe like the one in “’50s”
to curl correctly unless you know how to type the character directly.
Or you can just type two and delete the first one.
