Wikipedia has this to say about it:
Designer stubble is a short growth of a man's facial hair that became popular in the 1980s. This style was worn and reinvented by
singer George Michael, actor Don Johnson and, in the 2010s, singers
Craig David and Jason Derulo and was adopted by many others including
Tom Cruise who restarted this trend among his Hollywood peers &
members of the music industry after attending the Grammy Awards in
2005. Several companies manufacture beard trimmers designed to maintain the designer stubble look, being created by short trimming of
the beard to (typically) 1 to 3mm designer stubble is distinct from
five o'clock shadow which is the much lighter, stiffer growth which is
the first sign of the return of the beard after shaving.
Here's the picture they provide:
This type of look has existed since time immemorial, which leads me to believe that there must have been a term for it prior to the 1980's.
What was it?

It certainly existed when a man hadn't bothered/been able to shave for a few days, but as far as I know the look had never been deliberately cultivated before the 1980s. You would just say he was unshaven.

I assume you are aware that the term 'designer stubble' is ironic: a joke at the expense of people who find style in what had previously considered neglect of personal appearance.
