I believe that the proper punctuation of the aforementioned decade is '70s because it is a contraction of 1970s. I don't believe that the apostrophe should go between the 0 and the s because, if the word seventies is spelled out, it does not require an apostrophe. I suppose that the proper way of spelling it out should be 'seventies.
