What's the conventional wisdom on NOS electrolytics?

I need to replace the filter on a 1969 Zenith, and having a tough time finding anything suitable here that's not going to run me nearly 40€ by the time I pay shipping etc., plus mounting on a new terminal strip.

However, an ebay search turned up a NOS version of the exact Zenith part number from the same vendor here in Spain I usually buy my tubes from, for nine bucks. https://www.ebay.es/itm/ELECTROLYTIC...7/132508791869

Common sense tells me it's probably not a good idea, that it will likely be dried out or worse, but given the price and convenience for mounting and installation, not to mention the novelty, I figured I would run it by the smarter folks here.

What say you guys? Can I use it? N.b., TV won't be a daily watcher.
