If you’re worried, you can always take the drain port out and stick an inspection camera inside to see if it was drained regularly or if it’s about to explode.

An inexpensive filter/regulator will prevent that issue.

 

Make sure you monitor it the first couple of times you use it to ensure the pressure switch cuts it off when it reaches full pressure. As old as that is, max pressure is probably going to be 120-125 PSI. Look for a tag or stamping on the tank or pressure switch to tell you what it is.
