My 480s belt was done on purchase 5 years ago. It has only covered 37k since. Should it be changed due to its age now (water pump was done 18 months ago due to a leak)?

Is the service change for the belt 72k miles? If so then yes, change the belt.
as the 72k miles is a 6th year service change and your due soon.
If lower, change it. If higher, change it soon.
