Default Age: More than just a number?

Does anyone know or thinks that the age of a site is a major factor when it comes to ranking?

Well I think so, but please correct me if I wrong. The reason for this is that I did a search for a very competitive keyword "Professional web design" and went to archive.org to see what the ages are for the top 15 sites in the serp's, and it seems that all those pages are from 1996-2000(2001).

Does google add more weight to older sites? Of course this is keeping in mind that older sites would theorethically have more links to it, but do you think that a sites age itself is a factor?
