It would not surprise me if they did, I know they had the 7.62x54 around in cans at that time. I was buying cheap Chinese new made ammo, it was so cheap back then that I had no reason to search out surplus. I do have some new commercial 7.62x39 in a green spam can I bought in the late 90's , I still have it and it's still sealed up .
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

$110 for a case, 1200, I think is what I paid for yellow box Norinco back then.
