Cut the first meter and throw away, it is probably oxidised as much, but rest should be fresh and ready to do it's magic 🙂
I'm pretty sure not all Danes are honest people..
I have some spools of same brand and composition, equally old, but 0.5 mm it works just fine, it just need some more heat than regular solder, the reason I will sell the thin solder is that my eyesight is not good anymore, no more smd and fine stuff.

Well, in German, there is a saying "Dänen lügen nicht" = Danes don't lie. I thought it was from an old commercial for beer or cigarettes, but on searching I now found it was a song by comedian Otto Waalkes from the early 70s which was a parody of a Schlager piece "Tränen lügen nicht" = tears don't lie. It also contains a convoluted play on words that builds on that "denen" = them and "Dänen" = Danes sound alike when pronounced sloppily.
Otto was quite big back then and he's a real Mensch. He has turned to painting but will still perform occasionally.
I see it sold locally for around $75 for 250 grams. So the price is very attractive. I don’t really see the oxidation as a problem. The oxidation may degrade the first few layers. I would use those in a solder pot. The oxide scum would float to the top, where it could be skimmed off. Yes a bit of a waste of a fine solder, but that permits the solder to be used, rather than go into an inappropriate waste steam.
