Any problems with my Genesis should be ignored because I'm replacing it with an X'Eye soon, but there is still the problem with my SNES power port.

Is my SNES ok or should I replace the port? I have an extra SNES I'm not using.
If it works I wouldn't bother it as there isn't much chance of that becoming an electrical problem. More likely it'll fall apart completely later and become unusable long before it'd be capable of a fire I'd wager.

FWIW X'EYEs are a huge PITA. The switch that detects the lid is cheap and the motors seem ready to fail (despite being identical to those in the SegaCD 2). Modding them for S-Video, overclock (10mhz is a sweet spot that works very well) and a region free BIOS are fairly easy due to being virtually identical to the Genesis 2. Extremely temperamental on the CD side of things sadly.
