Old fronds die off and new ones are produced from the growing tip. A new set of fronds is called a flush. Sagos will flush once or twice a year. Cutting off the old fronds isn't necessary except for appearances. Your tree (probably Cycas revoluta) is a tropical and must be protected from the cold.Btw, the Sago Palm isn't a palm nor does it produce Sago (an important food starch). It's a Cycad which is a family of plants that predate the dinosaurs. Commercial Sago comes from a tree called Metroxylon sagus.
