How concerning is crackling?

I just bought a new Omnichord OM-84 and I was slightly concerned of the smell and the light cracking it sometimes does when I’m not playing it. I’m more or less asking to see if I should return the Omnichord and look for a better option or if this is just a normal occurrence and is to be excepted with older models… i’m scared somebody is just trying to sell this knowing it’s not gonna have a long future ahead of it and it’s a manipulative tactic to get it off of their hands whilst trying to make top dollar on it still… it’s not an abundance of crackling, but enough where I can hear it mixed with the white noise… otherwise it’s been well kept aesthetically.
