I'm no expert, but here's my dollop:
It's not just a matter of how old a planet it, it's about the conditions on that planet. However, I believe a huge number of planets with an environment somewhat similar to ours have been detected. Although it's speculation at this point, there may well be life on some of them. Or maybe there has been in the past. The universe is huge and we can barely check out our own tiny section properly to scan it for life. If I had to bet, I would put money on life having occured elsewhere, at some point.
