Looking at this history of this problem, it first appeared with the adoption of focal plane shutters, which appeared widely with Leica 35mm cameras, and is a technology used by most SLRs. I know of earlier examples, the Speed Graphic large format camera uses a focal plane shutter, not sure when this was first used.
In the medium format world, lots of camera systems used leaf shutters, and these do not suffer from rolling shutter problems. The exposure is controlled by an aperture within the lens itself which opens the pupil to expose the film/sensor. The problem with leaf shutters is the minimum exposure tends to be limited to 1/500th of a second, although I believe there are some 1/1000th of a second leaf shutters in some lenses. Even some medium format SLRs have leaf shutters, for example, the Hasselblad 500 series cameras, and the Mamiya RZ67. Leaf shutters allow flash sync at all shutter speeds, which is why it was a popular technology for studio work.
In 35mm land there are some leaf shutter cameras, they tend to be fixed focal length designs. The olympus 35RD has one for example.
Anyhow, interesting tech, it's not relevant for the sort of photography I do, but i'm pretty sure the videographers will appreciate it!
