Is it necessary to replace my 38 year old oil tank in the basement due to potential issues like surface rust, even though it’s been problem-free so far?

Hey, so my oil tank in the basement is pushing 38 years old, no issues so far. Do you know if there’s a way to check it out before any potential problems arise? It gets pretty damp down there in the summer, but I do have a dehumidifier running most of the time. Noticed some surface rust as well. Thinking maybe it’s time to consider replacing it due to its age. What do you think?
