The house will be sold within the next year or two.

Could you just leave it as it is? If not new drywall will certainly
present a better appearance than old painted paneling. If you do
decide to paint, consider filling the grooves in the paneling with
some type of caulk or filler. It may look better than just painting
the paneling.
