It does not look like that bulb is powered by the intended voltage.
Most incandescent bulbs could last for a century on a voltage that barely makes it glow.

I read somewhere that they cut the current to that bulb way back decades ago. Now the filament barely glows, and yes, it’s to make it last longer.
