You have to go for new visa as visa is already expired.
Multiple indicates that you can enter US many times within the visa validity date

What if they have an expiry date after 10 years

My parents visited USA in April 2005 and they are abt to come again but they have an expiry date of April 2014 and their entry is M.

So in this case do my parents needs to go through the visa process again

Your parents have a valid visa to travel any number of times to USA until 2014. They don't have to apply for anything, all they need to do is buy tickets, fly and enjoy.
