Try slow charge to salvage it

A deep discharge like that is never good for a non deep cycle type lead acid battery, so it's probably lost some capacity from it.
Sounds like it's had a fair amount of use already with four years on the clock, so it most likely wasn't at full capacity when you left the light on.
Still, you probably could give a good low rate charge to get it in serviceable condition, if you want to get some more out of it.
It'd be best to do it offline with a separate trickle charger rather than trying to let the car charge it back up. Limit the charge current to under 1/10 capacity, or 7A.
