If the car is off the ground (frame supported) and rear axle is hanging down, yes. Otherwise, there's load on the springs.
Usually, they'll make noise/squeak if the leafs are rusty. You can take to a spring shop and let them evaluate them to see if they still met spec. Otherwise, mileage or visible sagging, leaning, etc are about all you can inspect. Spring shop will re-arch, releaf, etc., if needed.
