I'd keep an eye on that particular PIC, maybe mark it somehow as 'possibly damaged' in case it quits working in the future.
I've put a few PICs in backwards here and there, over-volted them, 9v across a pin here and there. They always seem to work for awhile afterwards, a few have dead outputs on a few pins, nothing definitive, but you never know... Could come back to bite you in the rear end in the future...
