Nope - she's still running. Nimitz was commissioned in 1975, and she underwent a major refueling and overhaul in 2001. The Nimitz-class carriers are designed for a 50 year lifespan, so she's still got a lot of years left in her.
As an example of nuclear carrier longevity, the USS Enterprise (CVN-65) is currently on her final deployment before decommissioning later this year. The very first nuclear powered carrier, she was originally commissioned in 1961.

Is the USS Enterprise a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier?
She is literally one-of-a-kind. In 1958, they planned to make six nuclear-powered carriers and call them the Enterprise class carriers, but they cost too much so they only made the one named USS Enterprise. Nimitz class carriers were built later. Although the Nimitz class carriers are loosely based on the USS Enterprise, the USS Enterprise is not in the Nimitz class and is quite different. So, no. The USS Enterprise is not a Nimitz-Class aircraft carrier.
