probably had water in it for a while....

Just flush it good and depending on your climate run anywhere from a 70-30 water antifreeze, to a 60-40 water/antifreeze mix.

If there's no large rust flakes, but simply orangey/rusty liquid, you're probably fine. I'd suspect though that the water jackets in the keg would have some light pitting on them now which could in time lead to some major issues if the water/rust isn't flushed in favour of corrosion protecting anti-freeze.
