I seem to remember that most ocean crust is less than 150 mya because it gets subducted. So even if these cells are fabulously long-lived they will eventually be subducted, crushed and cooked. Their remains will be incorporated into the magma that spews from the volcanoes along the continental margin. Quite a ride. But perhaps they avoid this fate if the sediment they are in is "scraped off" on the way down.
