It it has really been <years> of sitting tensioned, they may be pretty
stiff and changing them out will probably help. Be sure to replace w/
matched set.
If they seem in good shape, I'd try just letting it run (take
blade/loose arbor flange off) for a while to let them really warm up and
see if that helps.
Right answer.
While you're down inside, make sure the pulleys are secure to the shafts.

How long did you let it run? It might clear up if you run it for an
extended period. Otherwise, go with your instinct; replace them.

There are three belts, try off setting the belts from their original
position , if this helps OK, if no change or the vibration gets worse,
replace if it doesn't work out by running for a while.
