The only use I would consider for this 30+ year old film
is for testing lenses and cameras.  I wouldn't risk any
new images you actually care about to such old stuff.
At the very least, you'd need to do a fair bit of testing
to see what speed/development to use and even then I wouldn't
expect the entire collection of film to be consistent.

Why make work for yourself?
