One of two gable vents sealed -- should I cut it open?

I have a split-level 2 story house built in 1960 that is shaped like a large T. In one of the sides of the T and its foot, I have to gable vents. Have an attic fan at one of them (the one in the first picture).

The fan died after running for about 5 years. The electrician who installed a replacement told me that the other vent is actually sealed. That is, as you can see in the pix, there is a (very old) vent grille on the outside. But on the inside it's covered up by wooden boards. Sorry, I...
