You seem to have answered your own question, so you should chuck it out.

Why did you suggest painting a test panel if this proves nothing?

I didn't say that. You did. So just chuck it out & forget about it.

"That known, either ask the manufacturer, or paint a test panel and
see how it turns out, or both." Why did you suggest painting a test
panel if this proves nothing?

The test panel will show you if there is seriously wrong with the paint.
What it cannot show you is how the abused paint will behave longer term.

Paint makers do extensive tests and the storage advice is clear enough.
