Default toyota coolant. no date printed on bottle

I have a 15 year old bottle of toyota long life factory red coolant, non mixed, from back when I used to own a toyota.
part # 00272-1LLAC

No date on bottle, so does this mean it has no expiration date?
Coolant is still liquid in the bottle. no jello.

Coolant level is low in my 07 GS, so I need to add some. Just checking if it's ok first.

If it's been opened for 15 years, I wouldn't use it. Coolant absorbs moisture so unless it's been unopened, it's probably not ideal. Besides, doesn't your GS use the newer super long life (pink) coolant? Red can be mixed, but the service interval decreases.
