I use ATE super blue and order it off the internet. I don't know the next time I'll need it, but I like to have it on hand if I need it. Will be ok to store it in my house indefinitely as long as it's closed?

Btw, I put pbr pads on my contour today and bled with ATE (as much as I had left anyways, so it's still part old fluid, but I don't really drive the contour as hard as my escort). The mintex a/f pads that were on there had lasted a good long time, but weren't the best performing. They actually still had plenty of material left except one that had gotten way down on one side (calipers are old and in need of servicing).
From the bed-in drive, the new pads feel real good. I didn't grease anything and they only make a little bit of "cricketing" when stopping. They were a good deal for the price.

You can keep it for quite a while as long as the seal is intact. A year, certainly, and with ATE for normal use, probably a lot longer.

Seems like as long as the bottle is brand new and not opened, it should be ok.

ATE products are stored in the metal can, which according to this is a good thing.
