What is your evidence that age was the reason that Obama chose Biden? Do you really believe that Obama would base a decision so critical to his success upon what might happen in future elections in which he would have no part?

A ton of the scuttlebutt was that he picked Biden, widely seen as particularly weak among his primary competitors, and NOT Clinton as VP precisely because Clinton would've set off tons of "who's really in charge" gossip

So, yes, the fact that Biden was also pretty old and at the time this made it seem like VP was the end of his career and not a launchpad for further ambitions was a big part of that calculation
