Apparently, the early 9-5s had very poor batteries. They had white cases. These were replaced on most 9-5s years ago with better quality black batteries. It is probably the low mileage you have that made that battery last for about 4 years.
You can maintain the battery by adding distilled water once a year or so. Many batteries these days have 7 year warranties (like on the Motorcraft in my Ford truck). So I don't think you can expect to replace the battery in the next four years. If you do, then suspect a bad voltage regulator or a failing alternator instead of a bad battery.
