Your battery is 5 years old or older if it is the original.  It could go at any time.  Batteries are expensive so you would be looking at maybe $150 for a new one, but the installer should clean the terminals when they install a new one.  $39.95 is way too expensive for that service, except for certain Fords that have to be reprogrammed when the battery is disconnected.

anywhere from under 2.5 to 8+ years

extremely variable, mostly dependent on climate and any abuse the battery suffered.

where I live, 3 years is old for battery - heat is very bad for them. They are expensive enough that having a suspect battery tested is worth the hassle. It's remaining capacity can be tested, checked for dead cells, etc.
