Its 7 years old.
Will be hard and not at all good most especially in cool or wet conditions no matter how it was stored and then add the time from now until tread is worn out.
I wouldn't use it and if someone sold me one with that date on it I would send it back.
Our cars will fail test if tyres are over 5 years old.
Call me fussy but I have had enough bike tyres under me to bin them once they hit even 4 years.
