The shelf life of sunflower seeds is affected by seed moisture content, seed age, and ambient temperature. So the expiration date's sooner the older the seed; the further away the temperature in either direction from 25 degrees C/77 degrees F; the closer the relative humdity to 75%, the higher the seed moisture content, the greater the damage to seed membranes.

germination rate decreases after 3 years or so to 80% - given that they were healthy plants to begin with.
If you want to keep them longer, freeze them.
If you have old seeds and want to increase chances of germination, soak them for an hour or so before germinating in a wet napkin.
