I would definitely check the roots for rot and remove all rotten roots. Then, rinse with peroxide. Rot leads to bacteria and further damage. Doing nothing and hoping the plant can absorb water faster is risky. The plant is already showing it can’t absorb all the water.

I would change out the wet soil or at least leave the root ball and soil exposed to air. Determine if you need faster draining soil, need to water less or both. Good luck 🍀

Not a correction. Just an opinion based on my experience with overwatering. 😂  
It’s a risk versus risk situation whether to risk shock of repotting versus the risk of further damage as the plant sits longer in wet soil.
