no, but if they are contaminated with oils and not stopping properly, you should replace them.

Don’t know, can’t see the thickness. But they probably need a sand to remove the shiny glazing, at the least

Yes, they are

this is like the worst possible angle to take the pictures from to tell you that. but based on the shadow, no. not at all.

Can’t tell the thickness of the friction material from that picture. Schrödinger’s brake pads are both alive and dead until you show a different picture from the end of the pad.

The best rated Swissstop brake pads on the market are less than £20, so I’m guessing $30? Unless you have loads left on them, just change them if you fancy a change.

You’ve got to look at the thickness of the brake pad to work that out. So we need a picture from the side.
Shimano recommend replacement of their pads when the pad material wears down to a thickness of 0.5mm. This is an absolute minimum though and I’d probably not go less than 1mm.
