If it's packed in a vacuum sealed can, such as an Armour Star Ham, it will last an incredibly long time. The can is dated, but WW1 canned rations were opened not so long ago, and were as edible as the day they were packed - and this was with early 20th century canning methods which are inferior to today's! However, if the can is dented the canned food shouldn't be kept for long. Also, if the can is bloated it should be discarded immediately.

If you freeze a vacuum sealed ham (plastic wrapped and airtight) it should last at least a year if kept frozen below 10 degrees Fahrenheit - but below 0 degrees is ideal for the longest storage.
