Allen to answer your question it is an old device and will inevitably become less compatible with current and future technology. It is also reaching the end of a better than average lifespan. You mentioned photos so I do hope it's backed up. A simple Time Machine backup to a USB External Hard Drive would at least ensure nothing is lost.
At the moment so long as the device continues to do the job there is no need to replace it immediately but I would start looking as per the suggestions given. And perhaps a little research into the current macOS. Catalina is a somewhat different beast to El Capitan.
