I can remember opening very old .blend files from the 2.4x versions in 2.5x when I finally got the newer version, and it did the same thing.
The only thing I think you can do, and I'm not sure where it is in version 2.8, but when I try to open a .blend file, near the bottom of the left Tool panel, there's an option to Load UI, and it's checked by default, so IIRC, you can uncheck it before loading up the file in 2.8, and then it will display as you want in 2.8's UI.
