It's about average, not especially difficult. Especially if it's one of the two smaller gear reduction starters. The big direct drive Bosch starter that was on the first diesel Volvos only was installed from the factory through around 1984. The Hitachi gear reduction starter was used for a couple years in the mid 80s and a Bosch gear reduction starter was used in the late '80s and '90s. If yours is original you probably have the Bosch gear reduction unit.

All of the starter motors available in these cars, especially the Bosch versions, are very reliable and almost never fail, especially not if they aren't abused. Very common to see an original starter still in place and working just fine after 30 years.

Unless yours is showing a problem I wouldn't touch it. Here we have a saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." You probably have something similar in your vernacular.
