Who didn’t really deserve it for the role they won it for, but it was more like the Academy giving it to them as a lifetime achievement award?
For example,
Jack Palance - Best Supporting Actor 1992 for “City Slickers” (1991)
Everyone thought Sly Stallone was going to win one for “Creed” after winning it at the Golden Globes and SAG awards. But the word is, he didn’t thank Coogler and Michael B Jordan in his Globes acceptance speech, and because of the #OscarsSoWhite backlash, they gave it to Mark Rylance for “Bridge of Spies”

It wasn't at the end of his career, but Paul Newman for The Color of Money.

Art Carney, Harry and Tonto Carney's film career was resurrected by Harry And Tonto. He became busier in films than he had ever been.

It wasn't at the end of his career, but Paul Newman for The Color of Money. It was certainly late enough in his career that the Academy was, at that point, hell bent on giving him a competitive Oscar. Who knew if another Oscar worthy role would even come his way? I still wonder what his acceptance speech was going to say. No one ever got the chance to hear it.

Do posthumous awards count? Peter Finch and Heath Ledger won an Oscar after their untimely deaths.
If not, there's Geraldine Page who won an Oscar for The Trip to Bountiful. Jessica Tandy won an Oscar for Driving Miss Daisy during the waning years of her career.

The Duke for True Grit (1969). Near the end.
Peter O'Toole's only Oscar was an honorary one in 2003. That's a shame.

Yes, but he was given the win for reasons due to his previous career. That is what I heard anyway. That he was treated poorly by the industry and they were making it up to him.

He continued to act in movies for another 9 years in mostly small character roles. Gwenn with Natalie Wood in Miracle On 34th Street  Walter Huston won Best Supporting in 1948 for “The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre” (1948). He was 65. He was to die just two years and 3 movies later.

Henry Fonda - On Golden Pond I actually think Fonda is terrific in that and did deserve the win, but I do think they gave it to him because of his age and never having won.

James Coburn for AFFLICTION. He won the Oscar in 1999 and passed away in 2002. He was pretty busy though during those three years after winning the Oscar.
