I have a Raleigh Randonneur from the early 90s. It's been well looked after, with many years of regular use, often heavily loaded. The frame was slightly dented at the back of the seat tube by a bike shop many years ago. All components apart from front & back rack have been replaced over time.

Q2. What should I check to help decide if I need to replace this much loved old bike?

(When is it time to retire a bike?)

Does the dent affect it holding together?
With my Gazelle, they noted rust at critical connection points. So enough bouncing would ... mkae the frame break. And there were 2 places where ... the rust was where things joined.
THIS WEEKEND< see about fishing that thing out of the garage and putting flowers on it in the yard.

@geonz @ascentale @bikenite no sign of any problems at all round the dent.
