Thank youIts normal with 5years old batteries
What does battery settings say about battery health?
If it was never replaced than its time as they are designed just for 500 cycles
Not sure what to look at re battery health?
Its there as Jonny described. Or use the search function in settings, Google helps...
Recent upgrade,
from iPhone 3Gs to 5s..........(wife's old phone, I get the old one!
Phone holds charge quite well but drops rapidly during a long call, is this normal,
or should I have this old battery replaced

No point having the battery replaced. It will cost at least USD 79. Might as well buy an SE.
There is a no battery health reading for iPhone 5s. It's too old to have the performance management features.
Well you can try replacing your own battery first before getting a new phone. I have a 5S too and I replaced mine using a Scanditech replacement battery on Amazon. I just followed their guides and well, my 5s is now good as new.
It's inexpensive too.
