Yes! This can drastically affect the way search engine crawl your site. Scan you website and recreate this links or demote them, so search engine bots will not attempt to crawl the pages. You can also be penalized as I’ve seen with a couple of clients who have been running old sites without fully analyzing their links for updates.
