Lifespan
NAHB's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components does not publish a figure for freezers, so no lifetime cost is shown here rather than a guessed one. The annual and monthly figures above stand on their own.
Is it worth replacing?
The FINLUX 2451 DUF1650WH is already efficient for its category at $48/year. If you're shopping and comparing options, this is roughly what a well-chosen new freezer costs to run.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.

Sourcing
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 256 kWh/yr is ENERGY STAR's own certified figure for this model. The full Freezer category page shows all 658 freezers ranked by cost; the state-rate guide covers the half of this number that isn't the appliance.
