Need more info than what you're providing. Framing type, stucco type, width of crack and amount of deflection. The picture provides no reference points to size and length. Is this an exterior wall shot or part of the foundation.

terminology suggestion…
just looks like a long crack.....
a big crack would have a big gap.
just report the presence of it, nothing unusual in the picture really.

Monitor.
If there are visible signs of water entry (which it doesn't apperar), I'd go further to recommend a foundation expert.

Report it as you see it, I would not loose any sleep over a crack that size on a 55 year old house.

Monitor. But call it like you see it in your mind. Do what gives you a piece of mind.

Common settlement crack that may be as old as the home. Vertical cracks that are very thin and especially equal in width are usually lame.
Hire a monitor.
