Was it still using the original batteries? SLA batts don't tend to be useful past five years in a UPS. Purely random conjecture, but I wonder if it burned out components continually trying to charge bad batts.
I'm still using a CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD I bought exactly 10 years ago, recently replaced the batts in it a second time and it's been good as new. If your hardware or your data is important to you then you should always have a UPS on your main desktop and NAS. The cable router/modem require almost no power, so it's usually possible to maintain internet during a power outage.
Have water, will cool.
