Peter Lemme has an article containing a long list of earlier 737 trim incidents, most on pre-MAX types. Doesn't seem to find earlier MCAS type failures.

Conclusion
737 stabilizer trim has been very reliable. There are enough examples of runaway to assume at least one per year, with overall stab trim non-functional about one per month. There are enough examples to assume at least on jam per year.
