it may be acceptable for the "wicked old crone" style witches and warlocks, or undead skeletons that look like extremely old people.. it should not be used for ageless beings like Discord, Q or abstract entities : take the Goblin King from Labyrinth.. he is thousands of years old yet is never going to look much older than an adult man in his prime (the age the late Bowie was when portraying the role) - being an ageless being he will not physically age and become elderly.. he will remain youthful for as long as he wills it.

even characters that may actually age (Olympian gods, Eternals and some mutants/aliens) can also become unnecesary for "elderly" status because of the redundancy.. Norse gods may age but if it takes them something like 10,0000 of our Earth years to become physically "elderly" then it is no longer really worthwhile saying they are of "advanced age", they are well beyond what humans would class as old age by that point.

I am absolutely opposed to it being applied to ageless beings and concepts (spiritual beings and extremely advanced aliens / variants.. who do not physically age and in many cases are not ever going to age, as they can appear whatever physical age they desire.. in the case of abstract entities and spirits age doesn't even apply as they are beyond the time-stream.. they don't age, they just *are*)
