I would clean, get a look through the barrel to make sure there are no obstructions from bugs and stuff. After cleaning, oil . Function check it. If everything seems to be in working order I would consider it fine to shoot.

Buy some new ammo like the others have suggested. 40 years in an attic is not in any sense ideal storage conditions.
