It is archaic but not in all contexts. i.e. If you talk about 125 ccm motrbike, it is always "german" way. Also it is used for human age or dates.

Uh, it does not (unless you're 12 or so, I suppose).
Slightly older... older enough, that I remember Vlasta Burian's movies being aired in the tv, where it would fit.
