So it is possible that it's telling about a Ravana of different kalpa. We cannot be sure about Ravana's age. Here, refer these hinduism.stackexchange.com/q/18211/26679 and hinduism.stackexchange.com/q/51217/26679 | |

Then for eighteen Yugas, the entire region of the three worlds was protected carefully by Mahendra....Kaikasi ... gave birth to Ravana who later became the lord of Rakshasas.... He was a king for fourteen ChaturYugas as a Rakshasa. O my beloved, in terms of years, the time extended to five crore sixty-one lakh sixty thousand years. ---. Since Ravana was killed in 24th tretayug it means he was living from 10th mahayuga | |
