The words ‘obsolete’ means something that is no more produced or used, whereas ‘extinct’ means something that does not exist anymore, either of which do not apply to the ceiling fan. ‘Superfluous’ is a synonym for ‘redundant’. Hence, redundant conveys the desired meaning, that the usage of the ceiling fan is not required much now. Thus the sentence does not need any improvement.
