I don't know... I'm consistently amazed about how well most of my
floppy disks still work.  While rummaging around in my parents'
storage recently, looking for parts of our original Apple II, I found
a box of ~60 floppies dated 1979-1982.  All but two of them read
without errors.

But the first thing I did was image them (or in the case of the 13
sector disks, at least make copies onto "fresh" disks).

Under good storage conditions, floppies may last a lot longer than
anyone expected.
