coolant shelf life

I have a couple gallons of Peak FINAL CHARGE® Global Extended Life Coolant/Antifreeze concentrate from 7 years ago, unopened. One stored in camper subject to temperature swings, the other on garage shelf. Looking to change coolant soon. Would you use these or replace?

Currentlly on sale at NAPA $18.99, going to $17.99 in September.

Thanks

When searching CAT-EC1 shelf life, I came up with this...

If it were me, I would run it as long as the foil cover was still intact. Just be sure to use distilled water.
