The capacitors will most likely test fine.
Post#18 shows a classic case of poison glue contamination.
Those two 100 ohm resistors could do with being replaced. They look like fire proof metal film parts.
It used to be a very common problem with computer screen power supplies manufactured in the 1980s/1990s.
They used to cover boards with the stuff in its day.
Most of the damage is done to resistor and transistor lead outs but can also damage hookup wires if it gets onto the ends of them.

7% - it's ok.
RLC-meter is good to have, but better to have ESR-meter, to have possibility make right decisions about capacitors.
