I used a half-dozen LEDs in my Stern Lightning with original boards but they did a much much faster on/off flicker. The resistor trick across the sockets fixed it. Yours flicker comparatively much slower. You might try just touching a 1.5 K resistor across one socket and see if changes anything. When I added a few LEDs to my early 80s Wms and Bally games from around that era, never had any flickering effect.
