You are lucky that the battery has kept working. Unfortunately, with a conventional starting battery (as opposed to a deep cycle battery), once it has been drained completely flat, the expected service life is greatly reduced. Normally a 50% discharge is about the most this type should be subjected to.
If you car is normally garaged and you don't have really frigid winter weather you should be fine, but expect more problems eventually from this battery.
I traced a "dead battery syndrome" in one of my cars to my kids, who were punching on the overhead light without my knowledge or permission. In the morning the car was dead. It happened 3 times before I got them scared enough to stop doing it. That battery was history.
