Is it really a bug if it hasn't affected the integrity of the game for 55 years? ducks

Agreed. It's a numerical error that only affects accuracy, but not a serious glitch, like the Pac-man Kill Screen Bug, not exploitable (to cheat/get resources/lives, like reaching 990,000 points in Defender), and not an Easter egg.
