Is there any way to revive a dead on arrival new old stock MacBook battery?

I recently bought a boxed old stock genuine Apple A1185 battery for my MacBook. The battery appeared new but had clearly been in storage for many years and was not detected properly by my MacBook when installed and appears to be dead. The seller has already refunded but before I take it to recycling, is there anything I can try to revive it so it will take a charge?

The A1185 battery is for 2006 to 2009 MacBooks. Apple has not held stock of these beyond 2016; and they would have been manufactured some years before that.

Even if never used, batteries have a limited life, and there's nothing you can do to 'revive' it, without risking fire.

Apple rarely sells parts to the public, and there is a large counterfeit market, so the genuine-ness of the product remains questionable, even if it's got "Apple" written on it.
