No, and adding one isn't automatically an upgrade. Some foundations here drain to daylight and never needed a pump. Damp that persists after the ground dries out is the signal that the existing drainage isn't keeping up.

In an older house it is usually on the wall where the service line enters the basement, ahead of the meter. Find it while nothing is wrong, and check that it actually turns. A seized valve is worth handling before it is the only thing between you and a flooded floor.

Water that can't leave the pipe comes straight back down, so the level holds steady no matter how long the motor runs. Ice in the outlet is the seasonal version. A pump left fighting that will fail well before its normal service life is up.

That depends on the policy you hold, and the answer is often different for a burst pipe than for water that rises through the floor. Ask your insurance provider directly what your endorsements include. Documenting the depth and the date helps whatever the answer turns out to be.
