Golden Age Superman was a seperate character. At the end of Crises, he journeyed into Alex Luthor's paradise dimension with Golden Age Lois and Superboy, and did'nt return until 2006's Infinite Crisis to try and "fix" the ever increasingly dark DC universe. ("Rebirth" is pretty much rehashing the same idea, only blaming Watchmen characters for how dark the N52 was) Golden Age Superman and Lois wound up dying in that event, while Superboy went insane and became Superboy Prime.
Silver Age Superman ended with the 'imaginary' story "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorow" from Alan Moore, it was never really ellaborated on whether or not that reality 'became' Pre-Flashpoint or not. The Silver Age Superman carried on for a little while longer after the original Crisies event before the John Byrne relaunch.
