You need to have a vet check over the cat to give you an answer on this one.
Of course, it is best to have your cat neutered to prevent unwanted breeding, but the operation might be too risky for an old cat.
As a general rule, the problem with neutering an old cat would not be the procedure itself, but possible complications associated with the general anesthetic. It's much more risky to use anesthetic on an old animal than it is to use it on a healthy, younger animal.

Why does your cat still spray when he has been neutered?
My guess would be your cat was neutered relatively late in life, after he learned sexual behaviors such as spraying or caterwauling. If a tom cat is neutered prior to learning these behaviors, they tend to not express them. However, once a tom cat has learned these behaviors, even in the absence of testosterone from testicles they will still express the behaviors. It is also possible that a small portion of testicle was left during the surgery, although this is extremely rare.
