The fact that the board has detected the issue isn't a bad thing, and you could assume that the circuitry is probably quite isolated from a lot of the more important parts of the board, but the board has detected a short in the socket. It might have shut the socket off but without a voltmeter it would be hard to tell.
If it was me, I would probably try and pull the socket out again until it didn't give the error (or if possible, un-solder it completely), shorts aren't a good thing over long-term because things can heat up or burn. Keep it running, and take a look around the area of the socket. Check for burns, strange smells, excessive heat. If the board starts to become unstable, I would suggest keeping it turned off until you remove the socket entirely.
