For the wood to still be moving after 60 years is very surprising, it must just be a naturally unstable piece of wood. I don't believe superglue will really hold that sort of cracking (and after 60 years it will be virtually impossible to clean out most of those cracks well enough anyway.
Banding is probably the only effective way on wood like this as pinning one crack will just move the stress somewhere else.
However if the cracks haven't reached the bore after 60 years you are probably safe to just carry on playing it (and replacement old Regents are very cheap these days).
