I would change it (just drain and refill).

Do a drain and fill. Fluid is cheap and transmissions are expensive. Toyota transmissions don't shead clutch debris like the American transmissions so you don't have to worry about it slipping afterwards.

I meant to add the fluid color is reddish brown and smells fine. The car shifts fine.  Am I asking for trouble if we change fluid and filter? We don't know when the fluid was last changed since the car was gifted to my grandson.

Doing a drain+fill on a car with higher miles is fine with Japanese cars (according to Scotty). Don't flush the transmission it could cause damage at higher miles.
