If you're finding it awkward to play I'd suggest you take it for a trip to your nearest, decent, guitar technician. A guitar of that vintage will most likely need some routine attention if it has been untouched since new.
I agree. You'll be sorry later if you sell it.
Get yourself a new guitar that you feel plays better for you. You have a collector's item in that Yamaha. Hang on to it.
