Anyone see this before?

I got an alert that one of our core routers rebooted at 2am this morning,
but no alarms from any attached devices as being unreachable etc. Got up and
logged in and the uptime was 8 minutes or so. 
This afternoon I had a chance to investigate the router more. The router has
NOT rebooted - log files lack any indication I would expect to see from a
router reboot (hundreds of PPPoE session coming back up) and attached
devices interface statistics show no loss of link.

Looking at the PPPoE active sessions, some of the session are showing up 496
days - which is the actual uptime of the router, which isn't possible since
I have the PPPoE session time limit set for 24 hours.

Attached is an image showing the Active PPPoE sessions and the resource page
showing the reported uptime.

The router is on X86 hardware running v4.17.

I'm hoping to NOT reboot this router if at all possible, but my gut says it
is down hill from this point.

Is my gut telling me correctly to go ahead and reboot the router to clear
whatever has borked the router (memory leak, memory corruption, phase of the
moon) at the first chance I get?
