Yes, you want MARINE plywood, not PRESSURE TREATED. Resin adheres better with out the chemicals. I would think if the resin is unopened and sealed up tight it could still be used. Like mentioned before make a test batch first. Probably a good idea anyway no matter how old.

But no don't 'go heavy on the hardener'.... Mix at normal ratio.

I have successfully used 2 part epoxy paint (Con-Lux) that was over 10 years old on a trailer. Worked perfectly. Mix up a test batch at normal ratios to confirm it's usability. But I'm guessing it will be fine.

I've used pressure treated plywood successfully but only after drying it out completely by sitting the plywood behind our woodstove. I then treated the plywood with a slow cure penetrating epoxy to eliminate rotting issues.

However marine grade plywood is certainly a better but at a much greater cost.

Even better then marine grade plywood would be coosa board.
