If the grease is black in some places and yellow in others, or smells funky, or moves in chunks when you press on it or if you see a lot of gear wear, replace it.

Otherwise it's probably fine. I just opened up a wiper motor from a 1955 dodge and the grease was perfectly good after 50 years.....

(The wiring harness is another matter..)
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.
