Look at the rest of the house. Back then, a similar quality was probably installed everywhere. I think that you can determine (your own) quality yourself by touching and thinking about it briefly (what do you feel? Cheap or nice?) It is also _the_ difference for many who want to live there, what they want: for some, a self-painted door simply doesn’t come into the house. They have everything replaced and suddenly have 500€ less in their pocket for each door. Others enjoy freshly painted doors. Because doing the installation yourself, everything new from the hardware store? That takes about the same time as repainting. So don’t get bogged down by the price/time factor :)

For me, it's a door, currently it can close well... just looks "old-fashioned". As I said, it's not worth 500 euros to me. Especially since there are about 10 doors.

As written, our doors looked exactly like yours. Paid about €1400 for 10 doors (door panels, seals, and paint) and put some work into them.

and are the new doors noticeably better than the old ones or is it more about the appearance?

Both. The old Waabentüren hardly provide any sound insulation, and if you give them a push, they barely manage to close. Ours were partially broken as well. The new ones are better in both aspects and naturally make everything look a bit brighter and friendlier than the brown ones.

If the doors are from the 70s, are the windows as well? Although good mahogany tropical wood was used back then and it was painted with the good = toxic stuff, I would replace the windows. You can of course also just replace the glass, ich would only go for triple glazing.
