Well, if you have still access to the system, first make a backup of SIP/data and store it outside the Pi. This includes programData.json and snames.json where programs and station names are stored. But do make a backup of all files there.
If linux is running for several years without reboot you might have a disk or memory full issue. Check that first and if you are brave enough you could try a reboot, but only after safing the data.
Most likely the SD-Card is end of life. In that case you could go the easy route and create an image backup of the SD-Card and write a new card with it. I usually use Win32DiskImager for it but there are other programs too.
Better is a brand new install of Linux, Python3 and SIP to have all upgraded to the latest versions. Dan made a thread of how to upgrade the SIP config files and the Wiki explains the entire installation.
