Yes, it should. But the film wasn't ten days in space with no
effective protection; for most of the time it was protected from
much of the radiation by several things (such as: the moon, which
blocked half the possible directions, a fairly large magnetosphere
blocking much of the remaining directions, and metal enclosures
such as the spacecraft, the camera body, etc.).
I'm sure there was some effect - probably comparable to what you
would see if you left film lying around your house for a couple of
years before you used it.
