So, was it five years after their parting, or five years after Grindelwald started his public campaign of magical domination? How long would G. have sat in the shadows before he set out? Is this even an issue?
Anyway, that's where I got 'five years' from, which sets Ariana's death at 1940 (assuming G went right from this episode to his campaign), and if Albus was 17 at the time, he'd have been born in 1923, which would make him 73 at the time of his death, not 150, unless he did a lot of time travelling in his day (possible) and counted his years according to his personal timeline.
"Neither Dumbledore nor Grindelwald ever seems to have referred to this brief boyhood friendship in later life. However, there can be no doubt that Dumbledore delayed, for some five years of turmoil, fatalaties, and disappearances, his attack upon Gellert Grindelwald."
