Of course it matters. Seeds found in many places that have produced viable plants have been carbon dated as being more that 1000 years old a number of times. It all depends on storage conditions. At 150 years of well controlled storage you will have a lower rate of germination, maybe lower than 40%, but that can still be useful.
