A couple decades ago, I actually tried to calculate it and came up with somewhere close to 13,000 years, adjusting for the wonky time. There are also somewhat contradictory numbers too (such as when Gandalf says how long he's been alive).
Being older than 30, I can understand that a being older than 1000 would get confused about their age (especially if the time unit changed since they started counting!)
