上了年紀 is a construct but it seems to be much more common than the base form 上年紀.

TP has about 10 instances of 上了年紀, but none of 上年紀.

GV
"上了年纪" - 7.3 million
"上年纪" - 1.9 million

K and GR both have 上了年纪.

多是中小學生或上了年紀的老年人
They are mostly primary and middle school students or old people.

有個同事是上了年紀的中國人,
One of his coworkers was a Chinese of the older generation,

裡面不少是上了年紀的老人家,
the crowds were huge, with numbers of elderly people [and even mainlanders coming in to queue up.]

一位日本導遊帶著十餘位上了年紀的日本觀光團員來台觀光,
a guide with a group of about a dozen elderly Japanese tourists came to sightsee in Taiwan.

她們是一對上了年紀的母女,
My landladies were an elderly mother and daughter.
