Yes indeed, a Load Test in which you place a relatively heavy load on a battery and then observe the voltage over a time period gives an indication (I'm NOT saying it tells everything or is perfect, but it does provide an "indication") as to the condition of a battery. If you measure each cells specific gravity and combine that with load testing and voltage measurements you have at least some idea of the batteries condition.
I agree with Professor Jim, I would give it a good charge and check electrolyte levels then do a load test n see what happens.
The life of the battery depends a lot on how well its kept charged and the charge characteristics (such as if a smart 4 stage charger was used) and how many times and to what depth of discharge its been subjected to.
Charge it, load test it, check specific gravity and levels n see what happens.
