Your location would be helpful in answering your question.

What's a "290 case?"

In the US each state has its own names ( and codes) since 290 is not the official name of a charge.

Where you charged as a minor ( or were you under age and charged as a adult) it makes a difference.

Normally Juv records are sealed and not on your official record.

Will or can some professional background company or PI find out about it, yes of course, nothing is secret if it ever happened.

I think I might know the state you are from or have juvenile court records there. Assuming this, here is a website that might help you determine if your juvenile records can be sealed and/or expunged. You must request this as it will not go away on its own. You must have satisfied all your juvenile court probationary requirements such as making any restitution, completing programs, etc.

If after becoming an adult, if you had certain legally issues of a criminal nature it might not be possible to seal/expunge juvenile records. Then again I'm not certain about this as I believe it depends on circumstances. You might be able talk to a lawyer for 30 minutes to an hour and not be charged for the advice unless you hire him or her to represent you with this matter. You might also visit the law library in your area or talk with someone at your legal aid office, if having concerns about fees and cost.

Good luck

How to Seal Juvenile Records in California (http://www.shouselaw.com/seal-juvenile-records.html)

Well I'm in California he was charged at 13 years and now is 35 years of age

What was "he" charged with? Can you give us the actual name of the charge and not the number?

Where I live a 209 is going to be different than a 209 where you live.

The experts will be able to help you better if they know what exactly the charge was.

Well I'm in California he was charged at 13 years and now is 35 years of age

If he were 13 years old then it appears his record can be sealed, but I don't know about it being expunged. If he were 14 years of age or older, then I do not think his record can be sealed or expunged, but there may be exceptions to this depending on all circumstances. It usually takes up to 5 years after requesting for a juvenile record to be sealed, for it to then be permanently expunge, (destroyed.) However, given the nature of this type of juvenile criminal act (criminal here isn't meant in the same way as an adult committing a criminal) and requirements by the law in a court order, he may never be completely free for the fact it may never be expunged. This reason being, if he ever acted out again as an adult, they would most likely bring up all the past issues as a juvenile. It is also my understanding that once the records are sealed the accused juvenile, as an adult, can honestly say and put on any form, that he NEVER committed any criminal acts as a teenage, as long as he doesn't commit criminal acts as an adult, his records will remain sealed to be re-opened if he does commit crime(s) as an adult. The numbers appear to be important so being less than 14 years of age at the time of the juvenile's questionable actions; will work more in his favor. After all these years if he hasn't been required by law to report or resister his whereabouts, this of course is a good sign and he should move forward while continuing to making better choices. Good Luck to his success.
