It's a Norco FS Fluid 1 with 26 inch rims. Is this a vintage 2008-2013, or is it a newer Norco worth much more?

Earlier 2000’s I’d guess. That generation of Deore XT spanned from ’98 to 2003. That geometry is considered sorta obsolete now because it doesn’t really work with a dropper; long seatposts will hit the shock and limit suspension travel.
On top of what Gregn8r1 mentioned. Servicing old mountain bikes can be a hassle. Things like fork or shock rebuild kits can be hard to find. Bearings and bushings can have you hunting through McMaster-Carr or Grainger for equivalent parts. For example had a friend that had 5 bolt disc brake rotors which are annoyingly expensive and sometimes hard to source.
Don’t.
