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:

thanks for your help
PS: sorry for my english...
looks normal for acheap/bad design.
if it really bothers you?, buy new diodes
and new cement resisters and mount them with
longer legs so that the units are not near the
board.
