The star’s low metallicity and fairly high space velocity suggest that KOI-4878 is older than the Sun.
But I don't know how to calculate an estimation for the age.

According to Wikipedia on KOI-4878.01 nobody did yet calculate the age of that object, but says exactly what you quoted:
its low metallicity and fairly high space velocity suggest that KOI-4878 is older than the Sun.
This supposidely relies on the following sources:
A search with the keyword KOI-4878.01
on different publication databases like arXiv or scholar.google did not help either.
