Default do have I have to change my guitar amp's zener diodes?

HI all,

I've no experience in repairing or in electronics but I opened my amp
to change an input jack and noticed this:

It looks like zener diodes have burned the board under them.

The amp works great, the sound is ok, should I change them?

here is some schematics I found:
