As you probably know, for NiCd, that's not really neglect. They don't need to be kept charged, and are quite happy stored at 0% SOC. In fact some sources recommend discharging them and storing them shorted. (Cells only, not monoblocks.) If those are decent quality cells, you probably have quite a worthwhile find there.
