And with that, often manufacturers used wattages that were thousands
of times needed (and no harm) simply to make it possible to manufacture.

Often space limits the size but simply more or equal to the wattage is required.

4.7 meg ohms - is it 1/10 watt? remember power = voltage squared /
resistance - I doubt that unless you have some very high voltages in there
(to get a tenth watt, you need about 685 volts if I didn't slip a decimal) -
suggest you look more carefully at the board - it may be a different
resistor
