Well, it **could** in a vacuum for all we know, as that’s a highly protective environment. (I don’t see oxidation! 😉 Designing in these was an easy to achieve longish delays (seconds to tens of minutes) without bothering with making a tube flip flop with long RCs. Those pins not being at 90 degrees means some gorilla last pulled this relay. -> Rookie.
These kind of relays often onboarded components such as resistors, capacitors, etc. in order to achieve functions such as logical gates or monostables.
Widely used until the 70´s for controling systems such as metros.

Ah cool that must be where the circular relay socket pattern came from. Still persists to this day, but glass relays are pretty rare now.

It is a relay, it is written on it. 😉
