In this sentence — ‘That’s because they quarreled’ — the word quarreled is used in a book written in 1913. My question is: Can this word still be used nowadays?

It can still be used. But it's much rarer than 'argued' (same meaning) or 'fought' (broader meaning).

"Quarreled" is not used in conversational English. You better use argue. However, you might use it in written, like in a narrative or a descriptive essay. It will sound kind of odd if you used it in conversation.
