I am looking for drawer and sliding shelf glide replacements for Aristokraft kitchen cabinets sold in the 1990s. Photo of one of the unbroken sockets is attached.

Welcome to SWISCO. I do not believe the socket you show us that has the "push in plugs" to attach it back to the cabinet is made any more. I have made a personalized list on this page of possible matches for you to look over. These type of brackets are attached with screws to the back of the cabinet. Get back to us and let us know if any of these look like a potential replacement for you.

We found a matching socket of the screw-in variety that it appears will work well. However, my DH has a question about removing the old 'push-in plug' socket. Is there a way to remove it without pulling the whole cabinet away from the wall? As you can see from the photo, it's still firmly attached to the back wall of the cabinet. It's just the supporting part that is broken. It doesn't appear to want to just pull out.

In my experience, these are just popped in and should be just as easily popped out. However, I have come across certain circumstances where the manufacturer glues these in place. If that's the case here then it may be a problem. You'd have to find some way to safely remove these despite the glue. I recommend contacting a local hardware store and present the problem to them. They may have a couple tricks up their sleeves, and products, that could help you to this end.
