Don't toss it out!
It is great paper for final support of carbon prints!!!!!!!!!
I think it was a developer-incorporated paper? If so, that is part of the short shelf life. I've had other papers kept at about 35 degrees last for more than a decade.
Elite was not developer-incorporated. It was Kodak's return to high-quality fiber-base paper, which all but disappeared after the introduction of RC paper in the mid-70s, and the Hunt brothers' attempt to corner the silver market c.1980. Elite was on a very heavy, almost triple-weight base, and was big news c.1985. I used a lot of it, as I worked for Kodak then and could get it at a discount, but never really enjoyed it. I found it difficult to get prints I liked, although it was undoubtedly a silver-rich paper. Certainly many people made beautiful prints on it.
