neon lamps do eventually die, from electrode wearing and such.
But they are still available.
Also lighted wall switches use them, so you could extract one if you need it.
The best test is, take another lamp, put it in parallel with the one you have (preferably with the original one unsoldered and the test lamp in its place to exclude a shorted lamp) and see if it works.
