pretty expected for a memory cell to fail after some time

50 years is plenty of time for the first memory chip to fail most systems would face total failure by multiple defects in half the time WITH physical maintenance.

Also remember it was built with tools from the 70s. Which is probably an advantage, given everything else is still going

Definitely an advantage. Even without planned obsolescence the olden electronics are pretty tolerant of any outside interference compared to the modern ones.
