That’s what I thought but ,Marcel that makes the heater 32 yrs old??

My personal best was an electric that was 35 years old and still working…was hard to believe.

I am sure you had boilers older than that performing as a water heater as well.

Perhaps it was in a seasonal residence?

Thought I had seen some older water heaters. Then I ran into this unit today. Home built in 1957. Original water heater still working great. Other issues, but I think they got their money’s worth.
