I believe that all of those were mask programmed at the foundry.

Read, likely not, as the lock fuses (if any) would be set as part of the mask. Being masked, I believe it would be unlikely to have the program fail over time.

You could test it though. The least you can do is run the equipment through normal operating procedures.
