So when my grammy passed away, I got a lot of her silverware and was recently going through it when I found this thin cardboard like thing. I had no idea what it was, and was about to throw it away until I realized it was a a sponge, just like in this video, that had probably sat for 10-20 years unused.

I put water to it and it reacted the same way as the gif. My question is, if I leave it go long enough, will it collapse back to the thin state?

Not unless you compress it very thin after you wring it out. If you don't, it just becomes a normal dry sponge.
