They add more numbers.

This has already happened. ISBN-13 is a thing now.

When did they start ISBN numbers. Does the Magna Carta, for instance, have an ISBN.

Also, is it " Aye Ess Bee Inn" or "Is-Been"???

Yep, add more numbers.

Same thing happened with the Internet and IP addresses. We were running out of IPv4 addresses (2.4 billion total addresses), so they introduced IPv6 (340 undecillion total addresses). For reference 1 billion is 10 and 1 undecillion is 10 so it's a lot more zeros
