The hardware is probably fine, but the software is ancient, and has changed a great deal on newer phones.
It should be able to continue running whatever apps it has, but newer ones tend to be made to run on newer versions of the Android operating system. And if an update isn't available for your phone from your carrier, it's sort of a dead end.
