It can, and the usual cause is a hose left attached. The frost-free design relies on water draining back out of the barrel after each use, and a connected hose blocks that drain. Once the trapped water freezes, the split happens deep in the wall where the pipe is warm enough to leak into the framing.
That knock is water hammer, and on an outdoor line it usually means a long unsecured run of pipe between the shutoff and the wall. Old strapping works loose over the years. A plumber can add support or an arrestor so the pipe stops slamming against the framing.
It depends far more on freeze exposure than on age alone, and a tap that gets drained every autumn can run for decades. One that has frozen a few times will start weeping at the packing nut or at the stem. Around Verona and here that failure tends to surface once the taps get used again in spring.
Stiffness usually means the operating rod or the linkage is corroded, and forcing it can snap the rod down in the standpipe. That turns a small service call into a dig. It's better dealt with while the ground is still workable.
