I'm assuming you're referring to Venus, the planet? It's been there as long as the Earth has been there, which is around 4.5 billion years. No, it can't always be seen; like when it's too close to the Sun (the direct sunlight will drown out the light reflected by Venus) behind it, or in front of it (in which case a tiny "eclipse" happens, pic related). Also, Venus takes ~225 Earth days to make a complete trip around the sun, which is around 40% faster compared to Earth's ~365 days, which means they're out of sync, so the best time of year to see Venus will change each year. However, their orbits are constant enough that their positions can be accurately calculated at least several thousands of years to the future or the past, so if you wanted to find out the best time of year to see Venus, Mars or Jupiter, whether in 2782 or during the plague, I'm sure there's a tool online that will let you do so.
