As long as the pipe looks to be in good shape, not too rusted and no leaks, there's no need to replace it. I'd probably put in a new check valve just because they're cheap and having been dry for so long the old one might not seal very well.

I second replacing the check valve. I do not have a dry basement and my pumps lasted a few years between replacement. Last time i put in a check valve and the pump has lasted at least twice as long.
