There's no question about it, throw the bonded rotor as far as you can, run to it and throw again. Repeat.
It WILL blow up sooner or later, and when it does, your motor will be full of nice magnet particles that'll never want to come out of the motor again, so the can will most likely be junk as well. Change it to sintered right away and you'll be happy.
