It most likely has lost prime, especially if it had oil pressure before it was stored. Some engines have the oil pump above the oil level in the pan. This happens when all the oil drains back down and the pump is dry.
A couple of solutions are to start it and rev the engine and hope to get pressure. A risky move since everything is dry.

Just adapt a fitting into the block, pressure it up for an hour or so, then replace the gauge fitting and see if it gets oil pressure.
