Really depends on what you consider the oldest shark. It's pretty much impossible to say wether a specific individual is the oldest but many consider the whale shark to be the one with the longest lifespan.

I tend to believe some researchers when they say that the groenland shark is probably the oldest shark and quite possibly the oldest vertebrate. Think about it a shark which lives in arctic waters and only grows about 1 cm every year, yet they reach lengths of of over 7 m... Anyways that research estimated that their lifespan is probably over 200 years ! http://www.geerg.ca/english/index.html
For the age part go to Sharks, click groenland shark, then life expectancy
For the videos go into gallery / videos and pick the one you prefer.
