Any CMOS chip is considered Static Sensitive. That said I have handled many 5101 chips and never used the proper grounding recommendations (shame on me) without harmful results.
If you read the datasheet for the 5101 you will find it was actually built with special circuitry to protect again static discharge harm.
For two in a row to go sounds more localized than an ESD event.
