"emerge --prune --pretend world" will tell you all packages that have
more than one version installed (ie. slotted).

As for finding out whether a particular version of a slotted package
is still needed or not, well, you could do:

emerge --prune <pkg>
emerge -Dv world
revdep-rebuild

But the above is a bit dangerous, and could break your system.  Be careful.
