Battery life can vary a lot and in part it is dumb luck sometimes. Have seen SAAB batteries last from ~1 year to ~6 years.
We have a 94 900 (purchased new) in our family and the battery was replaced for the first time last winter. Thus, this was about ~ 6 years and ~ 110,000 miles of service in a northern climate. We had another SAAB where the orginal lasted only ~15,000 miles.
There should be some sort of code (probably stamped into the casing) on the battery indicating the date of manufacture. However, off the top of my head couldn't tell you where or how to read it.
