Is this normal?...Campagnolo Corsa RD
The jockey wheels were seized so I disassembled and cleaned them. Years of caked dry grease inside. Still stiff to turn them so most likely new ball bearings are needed.
My question, is it normal for the RD to remain stretched out like this? When compressed it springs out again. Thanks in advance.

You're missing a part. Round up the cage-stop screw, rotate the cage ccw about 180 degrees and install the cage-stop screw. It goes in the threaded collar, seen below the lower pivot bolt in your photo.

I'll have to perform surgery when I'm calm and have more patience.

That's rather strange the screw is broken off - the derailleur looks nearly NOS. I hope you can get out the broken-off bit and find a reasonably-priced replacement.

The cage stop screw is not required for the proper functioning of the derailleur. Its sole purpose is to keep the cage in a position to facilitate installation and removal of the chain and the derailleur itself.
