Water pump bearing?

I had the clutch cover off to inspect/clean the powervalve parts and when I was getting ready to put it back together I noticed some wear marks and then some play in the water pump impeller (see youtube links).

The shaft looks OK and I didn't have any leaking or cooling issues.

Does the bearing need to be replaced? If so, should I do the seal too? The whole assembly?

Test the shaft in another bearing to try and narrow it down. Those bearings are cheap as chips so I'd probably replace it if any doubt as its cheap insurance.
