If it works fine....and you don't feel like full recap.....do change electrolytics and all the paper caps directly connected to B+. The rest might not work great but they won't go on fire.
Caps 20 and 57 and all lytics should be replaced.

This said, the paper caps cause other issues so replacing them is highly recommended.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
