They very well may germinate. I give it a little squeeze test to make sure it isn't soft or mushy. Then pop what is good in the ground. Water in. Liz is right, nothing ventured nothing gained.
Black seeds have that extra coating that makes germination possibly delay for a year. Before starting black seeds, I soak them in water, changing the water every day for 10 days or so. This softens to coat and helps germination.
