As for the sheath being at 120V - doubt it. I didn't get any kind of
shock, mild tingle etc when I scratched a bit of paint off the surface
to reveal the metal last week. The metal was also very shiny and not in
any way corroded. The cable was also stone cold, so not running warm at
all.

It'll probably be fine until disturbed. But in a 'new' house, people tend
to want to fit new lights, switches dimmers etc. That's when the fun
starts.
