The guy I got it from thought that the blackening on the glass near the socket might be good getter indicating that only some air had gotten in. I'm not sure what that darkening is (Edison effect?) but that's not where I'd expect to see getter material and the condition of the "real" getter would indicate that the vacuum is completely gone.
