1973 CB360 - Old Oil...or something worse?

Been Around the Block
I was replacing my cam chain tensioner and guide this afternoon, but when I opened it up there was a smell that seemed off (maybe old oil?). And when I opened it it, there was no triple-bond, and the breather gasket was hard as a rock - so I am assuming it has been quite some time since it was last opened.

But rather than just button everything back up - I was hoping to get some expert eyes on it...see if there is anything that I might need to be concerned with.

All looks the same as my bike, just clean it up add some sealant and run fresh oil. I tend to do a second oil change after a few hundred miles of reassembly to just make sure the system is really clean since there is no true oil filter and the engine does tend to run on the hotter side.
