Sounds like it works normally.... it is supposed It remembers the display format (F sci 4 or whatever) and the registers and the program.
Try typing in 8.8888888
Try typing in sin(45) does the display blink with You want display blanking. It seems like if it has the bug, the display is not blank all the time. The healthiest units would not have the bug. Suggest at the first hint of trouble (most of these units were built w/o solder joints) dont use it unless it is restored by somebody. Personally I think the display drivers DEGRADE into that condition when the connections all start getting loose and the chip subjected to flaky voltages, so dont run it if it acts squirrely.
Oh yeah and clean the power switch contacts and lubricate
