Yes, the 130 volt bulb lasts longer when operated on 120 volts. My family would buy these when I was kid.

Some probably non-LLM explanations:

Yes, but that isn't a thing that is actually manufactured, due to the lightbulb cartel. And if it was manufactured, they'd label it as 120V, long-lasting, because no country uses 130V power.

You can't just will arbitrary part specifications into existence. You can't declare that you need a 67.53 ohm resistor and then search for that. They only make certain values.
