Those T&P, temperature and pressure, overflow valves should be excercised once a year by opening and closing several times. Ideally as well the tank should be flushed to get all the accumulated crud out of the bottom. They're still making water heaters with the same parts they were using 30 years ago and they'll last a long time if maintained.

We do ours far more frequently than that. And it's less than 12 months since it was replaced for the same issue. There is no filter on the water at all and it is in a big of concrete water tank. What washes off the roof of the sheds and gutters up by the main farm buildings ends up in the tanks. The filter only catches bigger stuff, not the dirt and grit that is blown around. Normally it's not a problem but the tank ran dry due to a broken guttering issue and all the silt in the system got washes through the pipes... it was brown sludge coming out at first. We did what we could and ran out clean from the outside tap, but we've been having issues with it since then. The broken guttering was neither our fault or our responsibility so neither is the knock on effect.
