​I don't see anything that would cause "backup.old" to be linked to an
active backup if there was one in progress...and as far as I can tell a
successfully completed backup doesn't leave around any such file either.
So it should be safe to delete regardless of what pg_is_in_backup returns.
If that returns true then I would be concerned that something (or someone)
else is messing with the backup/data directory ​and that something likely
also introduced backup.old
