It’s old, but not egregiously old. It’s not uncommon for aircraft to be retired from passenger service and be used for freight. MD-11s were never really successful as a passenger plane because of their performance and handling. McDonnell Douglas eventually built them specifically for cargo in the mid-late 90s. I’m not sure if this specific plane was in service as a passenger plane or not though.

Looks like it was a passenger plane with Thai Airways (registration HS-TME) before UPS acquired/converted it
