Would it be safe to eat baked beans which have been in a covered (but not sealed) dish in the fridge for 4 days? They haven't been warmed

Although it's probably safe, an opened can in the fridge can change the flavour of the food in a matter of days. I've found that tinned pineapple is one the worst things to change in flavour, if left in the can (open in the fridge).
I found a tin of baked beans in the cupboard recently, the best before date was 2020. Microwaved them and they were fine.
I watched something on tv recently, and experts say that anything in sealed tins will keep for many years.
A 30 year old tin of sardines was found, and they opened it, and they were like the day they were put in the tin. Still fresh.
