We've been able to determine paternity for a long, long time now and I don't believe that a child born in a marriage is legally the husband's child once it's been determined he is not in fact the biological father.
Your own link is quite clear. In the 1970's, the test was 80% accurate (and sometimes worse than that) and could not differentiate at all between related fathers. It wasn't until the 1980's that the test was 99.99% accurate. And thus definitive.
