Noel's approach is valid and I have done the same on several boards.
Sorry I don't recognize the vendor of your board.
I would also suggest checking the voltages on the board, especially the
-5V for the memory chip if the memory faults are scattered across the
memory space. The circuitry on the upper left of your picture is
probably a NE555 that is used as a charge pump to generate Vbb from the
LSI power supplies.
The larger capacitors are probably tantalum (Kemet?) and should have
aged better than electrolytics of the period.
