Although well insulated, the tank will gradually warm and as it does so the liquid Nitrogen will boil off (the gas is allowed to escape from the tank which is not sealed and pressurized). This happens gradually, so the liquid Nitrogen can be stored for as long as some remains in the tank (this will depend on the size of the tank (Dewer - see link below)).

Why can't liquid air have liquid water in it?

Liquid air is air (nitrogen, oxygen and other gases) that has been super cooled to change its phase from gas to liquid. At these temperatures, water will be solid. Water turns to ice at 0 degrees C. Nitrogen and oxygen turn to liquid (liquid air) at about -196 degrees C and -183 degrees C, respectively. Water went solid a long time ago when considering how cold these gases are as a liquid.
