I was given this pan by a buddy downsizing. It hasn't been used in 5ish years and to me looks a touch rusted. Am I completely off base to just buff it out using barkeepers friend and then re-seasoning in the oven?

That's, in my opinion, a skillet that just needs some dish soap and then to be cooked with.
