Not so according to Franz Pangerl. He says that the LED was available on the OM2 to limit exposures to "15 minutes at the most". The length may be a guess on his part, but the existence of the LED must be fairly certain.

This has been covered in the past a couple of times.  One of the
modifications on the new model OM2n was to add the time limiting led.
The original OM2 did not have a limiter led and consequently allowed
much longer auto exposure.  It was for this reason that when presented
with the choice of keeping the OM2 or the OM2n, I opted for the OM2.

 In use, however, an OM-2 or OM-2n _may_ keep the shutter open much
 longer than one or two minutes.  But both models have a tiny LED peeking
 into one of the Silicon Blue Cells to assure that, even in "total"
 darkness, the shutter will eventually close.  The P-circuit of the OM-2n
