Well, Neloth is one of the greatest mages of all time. He is most likely this old due to magic, of course. Killing him is canon, as all the guild quests are canon. In the college in skyrim, Savos Aren (A dunmer of great power, maybe not as much as Neloth, but he is still skilled.) He says magic can last several lifetimes for those who are talented. If you do the Labrynthinian quest, we see Arens shade appear there, facing off against Morokei, and this happened a longgg time ago, as Morokei has been in there a long time in that little bubble. They most likely both know age extending spells and revival spells.
