It's a sign of wisdom. Good wizards in many novels, movies, games, etc are old. Look at the Sword of Truth series, Dark Sun Rising, and other books. In the first, the best wizard in the world is really old. In the other, the strongest mage in the world made a trade for eternal life in order to be able to acquire knowledge. Age is wisdom, and in magic, wisdom is power. To become a strong mage, the wizard must stay alive and acquire wisdom (it isn't a coincidence that wize and wizard are similar).
