it should be "It didn't age well"
Literally, it means someone or something got much worse over time. For example, some old people look OK, and some old people look really bad. If they look bad, you could say "He didn't age well."
This is often used on the internet to mean "This opinion seemed right at the time, but it turned out to be very wrong."

First, it's grammatically incorrect. It should "It didn't age well."
The meaning of "to age" is to grow older. Something that doesn't age well means something that get worse or worse than expected as it grows older. For example, you can say "that movie didn't age well", meaning that a) it's an old movie; b) unlike other old movies, it is apparent that that particular movie is now unwatchable, unlike in the past.

@homoexdeo The phrase is actually "it didn't age well" or "that didn't age well".
It describes the situation when something seemed true at one time, but then things changed and now it seems very wrong.
There could be a million examples. This site has many of them:
