It is unlikely there would be any significant security issues remaining 7 years after the product was released and, in any event, those targeting MS products are far more likely to be doing so for current versions, not long-superseded ones. Moreover, the security updates provided for Office concern only weaknesses that can be exploited in the product itself; they are largely unrelated to your operating system's security, for which you need decent anti-virus software. There are plenty of users still running Office 2010 without issues.
