Rust water in water heater - time to replace it?

just moved into an apartment and doing some kitchen renovations. removed the water heater and emptied the water to find theres a bit of rusty water at the bottom. is this an indication it needs replacing or possibly just a result of it not being used for several months? im guessing the lining has worn away, my guess is its at least 7 years old.

thanks!

REPLACE WITH NEW

thanks i might err on the side of just getting brand new, leroys have them for €90, for the larger 80L (the one ive got is 50L)

go for a split tank 2 elements 150 litre worth it in the long run

Have a look at the selection in the Ferreteria in Ave Londres in La Marina he fits as well

maybe worth finding the same boiler that you are replacing , thus its a job you can do yourself
