Honestly... A Power supply does degrade constantly after purchase... Aka. Cap aging.

However, that is entirely dependent on how significant the loads placed upon it are over time. If you have only placed moderate loads on the PSU, it is likely still fine.
I would replace it when you do your next round of upgrades/parts replacements.

That's why I'm questioning it. I do 'light tasks' at least 90% of the time and only a few hours a day on average, I do most of my gaming on consoles, so it could be fine for many years ahead. I changed it's cooler to a custom one around 10 years ago but I don't even remember why - either it had stopped working which I doubt, or I wanted a quieter one.
