TPS65185: Is this five year old chip still equally usable as newer ones?

Part Number: TPS65185

Hello, we ordered 5000 units of the above chip and noticed the date code is for 2018 (see attached). We ordered it this year so I was surprised to see it was so old, especially since it was out of stock for some time. Typically we use parts manufactured in the last three years. Our early testing was done with newer batches of this product. Can anyone confirm that no change has occurred and that all software and hardware can remain identical?

Thanks!
