I would clean them with a strong water soluble flux to hopefully remove the intermetallic and then if possible solder dip them to provide a solderable surface. If that is not practical, I would apply the solder paste immediately after cleaning.
Good luck

If that where the case how would you go about getting those
joints to reflow. I ask because we have some boards that look as you
describe and solder just as you describe, our AOI machine is spitting
them out like crazy.

Ted

Are you sure it is silver? Immersion silver is normally applied after
soldermask. What What you are seeing may be the tin that was used as an
etch resist and not completely removed. If this is the case these boards
will be difficult to solder.
Best regards

From all that I have read, the immersion silver finish should be
the very last process step before drying & packaging.
