OK well having had a superficial glance, the p53 interaction suggests it can be a pro-apoptic (senolytic candidate?). Didn't see anything there about its effect on telomeres, but didn't spend much time.
The stuff I've seen in the literature usually describes it as a telomerase promoter. E.g. this review:
https://www.ncbi.nlm...les/PMC4962009/
Resveratrol activates telomerase in mammary epithelial [94] and endothelial progenitor cells [95], most likely due to the upregulation of SIRT1 [96].
And there was this:
https://www.ncbi.nlm...les/PMC5645932/
that showed impressively longer telomeres relative to untreated control in vitro. And which we were recently discussing in this thread:

Do you have refs suggesting it shortens telomeres?
