That's pretty much identical to the two 189s I looked at today.

Is there any consensus on if these parts need to be replaced or not? Any means of testing them? I would be very sad if my 189 were to die!

alm:
The note from the datasheet suggests that this behavior is normal for this particular cap and might not indicate its imminent failure.

I just checked a fairly early 189 and it had a different surface mount supercap (with plastic sleeve) that did not show any signs of leakage.
