Yes. Certs can expire after whatever time the issuer wants to set for them. That could be six months or 20 years. Some infrastructure has limits on max and min lengths (more max than min usually) but not all and there are best practices as well.
More importantly the certs could have been five years old by the time this person got the TV for a total age of 8 years.
