Is it normal for e2fsck running on an MDT with --msdb to take over a week?
The entire MDT is only 500GB.

This is limited by the performance of the database that e2fsck is using for the 
mdsdb.  If this is stored on e.g. NFS, and the database is large, then it will 
slow to a crawl.

Typically I don't recommend users to run the old lfsck unless there is a huge 
amount of corruption that needs to be fixed.  Most of the problems it fixes can 
also be fixed in a different manner.

What problem are you having?
