Does pin hole in woofer affect sound quality?

Hello. I own a pair of 2nd generation DCM Time Windows. I am the original owner of these incredible loud speakers. I am currently restoring my 1980's era Hi-Fi system, including the Time Windows.  After removing the grill cloth from the speakers, I noticed one of the woofers in one of the speakers has a pin hole in the diaphragm paper. How much will this affect the sound quality and response of this speaker? Should I consider replacing this woofer? Thanks!

If the hole is round with no edges (check both sides of driver) no issue unless it distracts visibly. Otherwise, if you feel some edge that may produce a tear later, any if the above will do, preferably wood glue or nail polish that matches with drive unit coulor. Just a small amount on a needle pin.
