Depends on the capacitor. The cardboard cased wet electrolytics should be replaced with no question.... those are generally multisectional and have brown epoxy in one end, but the "Dry Electrolytic" capacitors... those do seem to have incredible lifespans. They appear as more contemporary traditional axial leaded electrolytics do, and have a rivet holding each lead on. These will always be labelled as a dry electrolytic if in doubt. I still replace them, but every one I've bothered to test after replacement tested OK.
