The timeline is just so bullshit at this point I can't imagine ever caring again.

Though I kind of half-want them to just make a total remake/reboot of the first movie, in which Kyle Reese is killed saving Sarah Connor, and John is entirely erased from existence in the future, but in a shocking swerve it turns out that he's actually been a pretty shitty resistance leader all along, and that his absence makes room for a better one that beats Skynet in about a week and saves the future forever.

The real question is why the organic material lasted as long as it did. That model was designed for short term infiltration missions. As in once they got close to their target they didn't need to maintain cover anymore. Certainly not for years on end like this one did.

Not really an answer (and the real answer is that Cameron just said "Ehh, fuck it"), but it is interesting to note that, within the continuity of the universe, the Terminator in this movie is only 20 years older than the "baseline" model, yet it's clearly aged about 45 years worth of aging (because of Ahh-nold's age in each movie). So while it's outer skin didn't just slough off in a week or two, it still seems to be aging much faster than an actual human would (which might be partly a function of how it was vat-grown at accelerated speed in the first place).
