Notice the implication that Social Security is part of the deficit problem. That was as common talking point then as it is now. The difference is that today a democratic politician would not say that.
In a similar vain Biden voted along with the Republicans for the 1995 balanced budget amendment.

He repeated this in 1995

Least we forget the grand bargain.

The talks began in the wake of the emphatic rejection by House Republicans of any tax increases for the wealthy. Speaker John Boehner announced Saturday night that there was no support for the relatively minor tax increases proposed by Obama Thursday as part of a “grand bargain” that would have put major cuts in Social Security on the table, in addition to the huge cuts in Medicare and Medicaid already being discussed. The deal also included a pledge to carry out sweeping tax “reform” to lower rates for corporations and the wealthy.

Biden's position on SSI has "evolved" since then. But it is an out right lie to say he was always a champion for Social Security.
