Probably like any dry seasoning. Doesn't go bad but loses its potency.

I'd throw it out if you don't use it in the next 7-8 years.

Yes, spices may go bad. Light, temperature, and humidity play a large factor. An unopened bag though should be fine for a couple of years at the minimum.

Fun fact, there’s always been a lot of bacteria in spice blends. I did a study in college and found E. coli in Tony’s. Processors use irradiated spices to prevent this.

nah. I keep a 50 lb box in a plastic lug in my garage. What I do not use sits all summer until next season and it's better with age.

Why is it better with age?

I think that was just an opinion.

I've noticed cayenne pepper loses some of it's red color after it sits a while.

Yeah if you look at a bag of louisiana it has an expiration date. I've never gotten close to it though.
