Yes, the cells are

GP SYLVA-CHARGE - 95AAS

1.2v 950mAh

As for their age - well they were all second-hand when I got them, history unknown. I guess they were made around 1998-2000.
That density, 950mAh is low, suggesting they are very old. It was hard to get anything at that rating for replacements - I got 1000mAh, closest I could find easily.

I guess it is an acceptable age for the cells to 'let go'. Oddly, it seems that this pack I have dissected has good NiCads in it! I blame dirty connections.

(Some would suggest operator error!)
