It does, but only very slowly. The Earth can absorb a certain amount of CO2 per year.

But it could take centuries for all the CO2 we've already put out to disappear. So if we want to solve it within our lifetime, we do need to start scrubbing CO2 out of the air manually.

It should also be pointed out that a solar panel is considered "dead" when its production falls below 80% of its original output. So even though it's "dead" after 25 years, it can still continue to be used long after that.
