Slow down there!  Yes, the outer framework of Job is a very ancient tale,
but that does not mean that the form in which we have it is ancient.
Aesop's tales are over 2000 years old, but if I use one today, it is still a
modern piece of writing.  So all of Job is a late work, in late language,
even though it uses an anicent tale as its framework.
