How long should an Optima battery last?

my red top is dated 2/09. I'm just thinking about the upcoming Hot Rod Power Tour, should I replace it?
 
I bought a red top in 2004. When I changed to a lightweight race battery in 2014, it was still working fine.
 
I got a red top also that was in one of our fleet trucks. Any tricks to bring it back to life.

I used to resurrect "dead" optimas all the time at work by hooking them up in parallel with a good battery. In fact, my last battery, an optima red top, lasted a good 8 years after I resurrected it after being returned as defective by a customer.
