I thought all the pixels that would go bad do so during the assembly
process. Do they go bad on their own over time?

yes, on lcd displays such as what IBM thinkpads use, individual pixels can go
bad. usually its not noticeable unless there is a solid colour on the screen
and then you can usually see it. i had a thinkpad once and had maybe one or
two burn out while i had it. like anything, they can go bad, but usually not
very many and almost never several at once.
