So did mine, but it's a high stress point, due to the heat and oxidation, it will fail sooner or later, not quite as bad as the bleeder nets in the old RCA BW types, but you may want to deal with it now while you have the chassis out, then having to do it again a year or so later, cause due to the heat involved, it will go at some time in the future.
And a new terminal block which I'm sure you have on hand, + this,

Consider it preventive maintenance, all color sets seem to have a 18+ watt resistor in them in the voltage divider, winch always seems to roast the resistor and the tie points, I always make it a point to replace these with slightly higher wattage ones and new terminal blocks when I re-cap, even if they check OK, cause I don't want to be bitten by it later.
