Its probably worth nothing since the old AT&T went defunct. The current AT&T is a re-branding of SBC. Either way, go to google.finance.com, and type in T, which is the symbol for AT&T, multiply the price by 45, that will give you the value, if your stock is still valid.

Boy, most of these answers are WAY wrong.
Even the one that pointed out that AT&T has been broken up and reassembled was wrong on the tax issue. If you didn't receive dividends then you didn't owe tax on them. There was no "constructive receipt" so you'll pay tax, I believe without penalty, when you receive the dividends.
The answer is complicated. AT&T was indeed broken up in the 1980s each AT&T shareholder got shares in each of the resulting Bell operating companies as well as in AT&T long distance. Many of those companies were, in turn, acquired or recombined.
Thus, you don't own 45 shares of AT&T any longer. You own shares of a bunch of companies. It's not easy to even figure out how many shares you own since AT&T probably split before it was broken up and some of the resulting spinoff companies split.
Get recommendations for a stock broker from your friends. This is one of the very few times when a full-service broker (Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, etc.) is a better choice than a discount/internet broker (Schwab, TD Ameritrade, ETrade, etc.). Call that broker and explain your situation. Tell him that you're looking to establish an on-going relationship with a broker. No one is going to do the work/research this will require if it's the only business they're going to get from you. Pick the one you like based on their answers, not their personality. Have documentation of who originally owned the shares and/or when they were bought. If you didn't originally own the shares, i.e. your name is not the one on the certificate as the owner, then have the legal documentation (probate documents, probate court decree, etc.)
Good luck. Assuming the certificate is valid you're in for a small windfall. Not enough to retire on, probably not even enough to pay for a new car but more money than you had the day before.

AT&T Stock Current Price $39.16
So Multiply that times 45 shares and you have the value. See the below link for more information.

on the web, look up the company's investor relations department and stock transfer agent.
then email the stock transfer agent, including your certificate numbers.
because ATT was broken up and then some of the pieces recombined into other firms, the answers aren't going to be simple.
The other way is to simply hire a broker to sell the shares for you ... then they'll figure out all the details on the way to collecting their fees.

btw, you likely have 42 years worth of accumulated dividends owed as well.
there is also (probably) an income tax issue with underreported and/or underpaid taxes -- which accrued interest and perhaps penalties too boot.
