Yes, loose parts inside a powerstrip is never a good thing. could be a loose cable or a broken pin from one of the grounds which can lead to fatal things happening.

i'd consider changing to another one ASAP. even if you haven't had any issues so far, it can be dangerous. electricity is nothing to fool around with.
