According to this post, age is no longer publicly visible (except for the Stack Exchange Data Explorer and Data Dump).
What about the indicative text?

Well, it is shown to moderators (but it counts as accessing Personally Identifiable Information). – Glorfindel Dec 28 '17 at 15:20

@Glorfindel Shown to mods ≠ publicly visible. – iBug says Reinstate Monica Dec 28 '17 at 15:20

... and it shows the birthday itself, not the age. – Glorfindel Dec 28 '17 at 15:21

I don't think the field should be removed, e.g. maybe one day SE will decide to send birthday gifts to users... who knows.... but yes, the text is now a bug, leftover of the times where age was displayed. – Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard Dec 28 '17 at 15:23

I personally think the test might as well be removed. And add visible to moderators to the (grey) parentheses above. – iBug says Reinstate Monica Dec 28 '17 at 15:28

1The age is returned by the Stack Exchange API for every user (who ever has populated that field), so removing that warning would not be accurate. – Bhargav Rao Dec 28 '17 at 16:17

@BhargavRao Than changing it would make more sense. – iBug says Reinstate Monica Dec 28 '17 at 16:21
