The skin of this aircraft is extensively rippled or wrinkled.

Is this condition from the prolonged stresses experienced
by the airframe over its long life span or is it a design feature
to accommodate the pressurization at high altitude?

Well, it is a bit long in the tooth and is showing its age!
