I have an older IPad Air that still works but the battery won't charge. It will no longer update past version 12.5.5 but it has worked fine until now. Does the battery eventually wear out?

All rechargeable batteries have a finite usable life. Battery capacity will be reduced, ever so slightly, for every recharge, this degradation being cumulative.
An iPad battery is rated to maintain at least 80% of its initial capacity after 1000 full charge/discharge cycles - whereas an iPhone is rated to have 80% of initial capacity after 500 full cycles. A full cycle is defined as any combination of charging cycles that together total 100% (e.g., 50% + 20% + 20% = 100%).
There are software packages available that can access battery cycle count. Popular choices for Mac are Coconut Battery and iMazing - whereas iMazing is available for PC.

Yes.
Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles.
Eventually they become incapable of holding a charge.
All batteries will eventually wear out
