Treat this like a "lifetime" timing belt. Change it. Use anything from a steel deep groove ball bearing you source yourself over the internet for a few bucks, which you'll need to service again in a few years, to a custom made plain bearing for a few grand you'll never have to change or think about again. Or you can just leave the bearing in place and bet it won't bother you. You'll be right 92% of the time for a single row, and 99% of the time for a double row if you decide not to worry about it.
