According to The Biography of Barenziah she and Symmanchus had been married for several hundred years before they got their first child. And if "hundreds of years" is a relatively appropriate time to wait between getting married to concieving children then I'd say they can get at least a couple of thousand years old. And bear in mind that she's a Dunmer. Altmer, with their focused perfection of breeding the perfect mer race, probably have the potential to age even further. Iachesis, as an example, would be at least 2700 years old. I'd wager about 2000 - 5000 is a relative approximation of mers, most prominently Altmers, lifespan.
