Things like this are pretty common, my first post here was about my Plus doing something similar. I had the same concern. :)

the A/B is going to need a re-cap soon.  pop a floppy disk in the drive , if you start to see any screen jitter as the floppy is accessing, then you know its caps are toast. also the Classic A/B has the odd issue in some situations of burning out the speaker, from leaking cap goo causing shorts.
Does that apply to all models with a floppy drive or just the Classic? And also good to know about the speaker issue, that will definitely be worth remembering.
