Yes, your radio's alignment is way off. I never heard of a situation like yours, in which the same station comes in between locals -- unless of course you are very close to a powerful station (I had that problem almost 40 years ago, when I lived one street over from the transmitter tower of a local FM station; it would blast in between the local Cleveland stations). Seems as if whomever had this radio before you must have fiddled with the alignment; I can't imagine normal component aging throwing the alignment off by that much.
I'm amazed you are consistently hearing 740 that far west of Toronto. The station's signal pattern is meant to cover the northeast United States and part of the Great Lakes, so even if the 740 frequency is devoid of local stations in your area, I would almost have to conclude that any reception of AM 740 would be a one-time fluke.
