Seeing as this battery is from your daily driver, I assume it is constantly used with no extended periods of no-run time.
But - other things that come to mind are:
If the battery has ever totally discharged and was then recharged (hopefully not using a "deep-charge" type charger)...
or:
I'll also assume it has never discharged and partially frozen...
or:
If your electrolyte had got extreamly low once or twice and you didn't notice it until the car didn't start one day.... so you then refilled it with water, and hopefully did not use "Tap" water, especially if you have well water....
or:
They just don't make batteries like they used too....

Bottom line is:
If you got the build-up on the battery plates, you've got a problem...

or
Maybe you have sea monkeys are living in the battery?
