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.
