Are these seals questionable?

And that's a good point. I would trust an old tank with a frame from an old school manufacturer over most of the new rimless builds....as long as it passes the leak test.

I definitely see what you’re saying. This whole thing just has me thinking now that as much as I want to use this tank, I don’t want to be worrying about it or having to do all of this over again any time soon

I can't vouch for your tank, no one can, but I can tell you that my 130 gallon was in my basement dry for 25 years.
Now, like most basements mine is humid and the seals remained moist for lack of a better term.
5 months ago I cleaned all the muck out of it and filled it up and then ran. I waited 2 or 3 days before I got close to the tank for fear that it might BLOW.
5 months later all is well.

Take that for what it's worth!

Good luck with your tank!!!
