But the leakage rate is very very dependent on temperature. Store it somewhere cool and a 5 year lifetime might be extended to 500 years.
With the right tools you can read back the data and see how much degredation had occurred (even though all the data was readable). Using that info, you can have a good chance at extrapolating the time till the data becomes unreadable.
