How to tell the age of ammo and does it matter?

I may be overthinking this...

Long story short a friend passed away recently and his wife gave me a bunch of his "gun stuff", mostly ammo. Among the ammo was some Winchester White Box 9mm 115gr in the "value pack" boxes of 100. Factory not reloaded. Had been stored on shelves in the closet of his "man cave" in the house. Visual inspection they look fine, but I'm pretty sure this stuff is relatively old. Maybe 10 years? I'm not sure.

Is there any way to tell how old this stuff is? Does it matter how old it is really? If it doesn't look odd or set-back or such, then does the age cause any safety concerns?
