I read it as ageist and I won't be the only one.
He looks pretty damn fit to me for a man with his health history.
It is also not a surprise that his voice might have some hoarseness given the intense speaking schedule he's had during the primary.
Additionally the tone of his voice changed throughout the speech, and what I heard as a more emotional tone/almost choking up, you may have misinterpreted as 'weak'

before you worry. I thought he was great even though I am not much of a Bill Clinton Fan.

He sounded pretty much in line with most people who are on the verge of turning 70.

than he usually does. So often he is hoarse. He does have allergies that affect his voice though.
