I think the comment was made in relation to star's age, as it is one of the oldest in our galaxy. If life requires time to develop, this planet gave it a good shot at that. Also, the planet's climate may have been more favorable to life in the star's heyday, which means that even if nothing living will be around when we'll get there, that still makes it a very promising archeological place.

We should send palaeontologists, not archaeologists.
