Was this Nord exposed to cigarette smoke?

I bought a used Nord and didn't realize until recently that it may have been exposed to cigarette smoke. I noticed compared to my Yamaha electric piano that the keys almost have a yellowish tint. There's no overbearing smell or anything, however I do notice that when I spend time in the same room, I start feeling an allergic reactions. My wife yesterday said she thought she smelled a waft of cigarette smoke when she walked into the room. When you stick your nose close to the keyboard there's no obvious smell.
Additionally, I noticed a few of the buttons are a little jumpy. For example, one of the octave buttons jumps from 0 to 2 sometimes. Sometimes it behaves normally. If I keep the keyboard, is there a quick fix for this like using a contact cleaner?
Here's the photo next to my Yamaha. Perhaps it's supposed to have a slightly off white color or maybe it could even be from exposure to sun?
