Yep, old aluminum scares me, it all has a finite life (regardless of when it was made). But for $100, if you don't plan on being too hard on it, just ride it until you need to replace things. The bar breaking likely means your collarbone will get to hang out with the stem, and the seatpost breaking means your backside may have a new exit, so those things can be worth replacing, just for peace of mind. The frame breaking will likely not be too disastrous, as most tend to break on a chainstay near the bottom bracket.
