To be fair, most presidents were born before 1899. (Life expectancy increased a lot in the last century.) The best take I heard on this question was that people age differently. (So chronological age is almost irrelevant.) The problem I have with this question is that it's really just about two particular candidates. (If some unnamed, 80-something candidate emerged to run in 2028... I just don't think we'd be having this conversation.)
