Restoring mottled but undamaged veneer (lemmy.ca)

So when my mom moved, I inherited her 1960s MCM coffee table. The end pieces are veneered particle board.

Now the veneer is in good shape - no chunks missing, no big lifts or anything - but it’s rough and covered in tiny not-quite-bubbles.

I’d like to find some way of just smoothing it all down, and I expect it to look natural again, but I’m being cautious. Anyone dealt with this before?

Have a photo? Is the veneer itself peeling or is it's finish? How thick is the veneer layer?
