I would check to see if the owner pulled permits for the work. Could be other things done too that aren't up to snuff, and wasn't inspected. I've fixed a ton of things on my mom's house due to "home-owner specials." I wasn't in the trade for much longer than it took to get my license, so I'm sure someone with more experience knows when the rule first came into effect. I'm sure it's been longer than 10 years though.
I can't venture a guess on price, but using as a junction box seems a legit way to move it without too much of a hassle. How's the access to get your cables out?

I am under the impression that this is a sub panel and not the main panel to the entire house? If not, there's always a little more work and a little more to suck the bank account dry.
