It could be but it may not be, usually with prints that old I would do a liquid culture since you don't know how many of those spore are good.
I would get more so you don't waste your time but that's just me.

Make a syringe, than do a LC. Prints last for a long time if done right.

Spore prints can be good for 20 plus years.
Not long ago I made cakes using syrings from Ralf that was 5 years old.

spores are fine, the purpose of a spore is to be a hardy vessel that can contain a viable cell in a harsh environment for many years until conditions are suitable for growth
Id bet the spores will grow/fruit  If used properly that is..

Yes they should work fine, but if you feel the need, check out some of the sponsors and buy a syringe.
