Tyrannosaurus rex lived about 67 - 65 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous of North America. They were some of the last dinosaurs alive, along with Triceratops and many others, though dinosaur diversity had been declining. All T. rex specimens, including Sue in Chicago, will be from this time period.
If you want to know how old Sue was when she DIED, that's a question that can only be answered by examining the interior tissue of bone, and to my knowledge this information has not yet been published on Sue. From studies on bone growth rates of other Tyrannosaurus rex specimens, their life span was likely from 20-25 years of age. Dinosaurs did not live for nearly as long as was once thought from looking at life spans of extant reptiles, and patterns of their growth better fit those of some birds and mammals. This field of research is called Paleohistology, and is a very fast-growing but young sub-field of Paleontology.
