Should I go and pick up a new one and rivet or the old spring just unsprung itself and is good for another 25 years with the rebend?

It'll likely be fine being bent but since Midway still (usually?) has the rivet & spring in-stock, & they're cheap, it'd be good insurance to buy a set, just to have in case. 3rd Gen parts aren't getting any easier to find.
One of my 10xx has the loose spring & I keep tightening it but it keeps getting loose. One day I'll have to repair it.
The large frame 3rd Gens, 10xx & 45xx, seem to have this affliction more than others.
Nice find!
