There was not a single Intel / X86-64 "unibody" Macbook in the entire history of Apple that didn't have a heat stress issue 😂. First unibody was released in 2009, the first w/ "M" chip fixing the problem in 2020 🤦‍♂️

What's the heat stress issue look like? Mine from about 8 years ago still works fine. But I did install a fan speed control app to make the fans come on sooner and keep it cooler.

A wide range of issues: Pretty much everything from refusing to boot again to vertical stripes or other "objects" randomly running over the screen. It should be noted that it depends a lot on how you used your device. If you stay away from gaming / video editing or other sources of "constant load" - you may be fine. What kills the notebook is regular overheating...
