Discoloration, softness, bubbling paint and swollen joints can signal moisture inside the panel or wall cavity.
Water source changes the decision
Drywall exposed to contaminated water is handled more conservatively than drywall affected by a clean water source.

Cavities matter as much as the face of the wall

Patching and repainting should follow—not precede—the moisture-control work.
