It's old "mechanic" folklore that changing transmission fluid with an high-mileage transmission will cause a failure.  There is no proof of this that I've ever seen.  I think the problem is that such a transmission is more prone to failure anyway due to its age and mileage.
But a flush and change will help extend the remaining life of the unit and if this were mine, I'd certainly change the fluid.
