If the frame is cracked or is showing fatigue. Other than that replaces cables and bearing, repack lube, etc. Unless you want a newer style of bike/frame.
I think my grandfather had the same commuter bike for 50-60 years
I used to do track racing years ago. You always knew who was about to buy a new track frame by the loud cracking noise their bottom bracket shell made as it broke away from the seat tube when they started a kilo (1000m time trial). It was always some sprinter with enormous quadriceps muscles.
