Lots of noise on the ti/pps and you can see EFC is rising all the time. I will say in the past it had been a steady rise now there is a wave that might mean its slowing down a bit. But this all looks rattier then I would believe.
According to the plot, the oscillator is still aging (re-tracing) quite fast. Since it hasn't been powered up for decades, this is not a huge surprise. So be patient and wait for the crystal to settle down. (If it still looks like this in three months, then start considering whether there is a problem.)
One of my best oscillators looked liked that for a month after I powered it up, then slowly improved. It wasn't as good as an average 10811 for a full six months. Another six months later it was exceptional, and it has stayed that way for nearly ten years.
