OK, quick google turns up nothing. I found a bottle of Southern Comfort I opened about three years ago, drank about 1/5th and put the lid back on.

Is it still any good or does it need binning?

It shouldn't have gone off but a quick sniff should tell you if there's any alcohol left; the most likely thing to have evaporated.

Be fine, no worries.

Spirits in glass don't change if kept out of direct light.

Think of all those opened bottles of malt scotch on the top shelf in a proper old pub lick

Drink it, if you wake up in the morning feeling a bit ill, it may have been off, if you don't wake up it was definetly off.

From my experience SC simply gets harsher with age.

Mix with Cointreau to restore top notes nuts

That's sacrilege. Just drink the Cointreau.
