Greasy Shocks

Silly question I think I know the answer to. Just drove my AS across the country and all four shocks are greasy/oily/dirty on the outside. Time to replace them? Not sure when they were replaced if ever...they could be 16 or 47 years old...

Thanks. I figured I would attach a picture for fun and verification too. All of them look similar.
