Any society that has a concept of "history" and "generation" can have a saeculum. So in the modern world that's virtually all non-hunter-gatherer societies.
Whether that saeculum is suppressed by outside forces (for example, authoritarian rule, or Crises that arise from "outside the society" such as foreign invasions and natural disasters) is another matter.
