Dona Helena desceu à cave para comprar uma gravata de seda para oferecer ao seu marido que está quase a fazer anos.

I've never heard that expression before, it sounds a bit formal to me.
If I were to take a guess, I'd say that one's birthday is coming up, like: 3 hours from now he'll be turning 20 years old and I haven't bought his birthday gift yet.

@SunSage Se eu estiver correto, eu recomendo você utilizar ''ele(ela) vai fazer aniversário (logo mais, amanhã etc) ou estará completando X anos (logo mais, amanhã etc)''. Dessa forma você irá soar mais natural.

Actually, "estar quase a fazer anos" is an European Portuguese expression, and I haven't heard any Brazilian ever saying that. People would get what you're saying, but it wouldn't sound natural around here.
The meaning is exactly as @Student_89 said, Helena's husband's birthday is coming up.

Fazer anos significa que fez aniversário, ou seja como você exemplificou acima quer dizer que ele vai fazer aniversário.
