If the can is sealed properly the paint will be good till the sun burns out. Stir it till extreme boredom sets in. If air was getting to it then it could still be used if you just stir it up and filter out the chunky stuff by pouring it through a screen of some sort, and if it's latex paint the screen can be cleaned to its pristine condition if necessary, for instance, if you were pressed to use a kitchen strainer. I use fiberglass window screen but it's only sold in large rolls. You can even peel gooey half-dried pieces off the rim before you start to stir, but be aware of changing the tint ratio. One thing that might hurt performance is if it went through a couple freeze-thaw cycles.

Dried latex paint can not be reconstituted. If you have latex paint in a can and some of the liquid has evaporated, but it still has a creamy texture with no lumps, you may be able to add some water or a latex paint conditioner and make it usable, however, that should only be done when you need to touch up and can not get more of the original paint.

Use an oil primer that is made to take latex topcoats.
