These have to be at least 20 years old at this point. Bought them for a Sony MVC-CD-300 camera which just died a couple years ago. Had stacks of these things, down to a couple of cake boxes of them. Probably just keep them around as an example of old tech with the other stuff I have.

I used to keep some DVDs around for that reason as well, but I haven't touched any blanks in years.

I wonder if any of them are still good, or if the dye has started to break down.

Mine seem fine. I don't see anything that looks like a date code except on the Verbatim and that looks like 08.

I don't expect any of them to be bad, but the dyes do have a chance of breaking down over the years.

Discs from the mid-late 2000s seem to be holding up well.

My burned ones from the late 90s early 2k are in storage or I'd pop some in just to see. I couldn't bare to toss my burned copies of games.
