Do you think this kind of accident would have been avoided if PSM was fitted?

Was there a warning in the handbook about it?

The speed of the car was around 90mph. Assuming nothing on the pavement caused the accident and the tires had thread, PSM could have stabilized to car sufficiently to avoid hitting the pole leading to the fire. Porsche had the technology back then and today I don't believe Porsche produces a road car which is not equipped with PSM. Also, if I am not mistaken most countries require ESD to be installed on cars.

I am not minimizing the role of the driver and speed causing this accident.

FWIW, ESP systems became compulsory on new cars and light commercial vehicles in the EU with type approvals issued after 1 Nov 2011.
