Electronic wall art is hard to maintain. Have pity on me.
NOTE: After discussions in the comments, it is apparent that it is almost never safe to open a power supply unit (PSU). There are high-energy capacitors that can maintain deadly (dis)charge even after the unit has been unplugged for a long time. I was actually aware of this and have a tool called a "capacitor discharge tool" for this purpose, but it seems like it's not worth the trouble and risk given how old it is.
It looks like I'll be getting a 100% modular PSU, and just suck it up and do the full reassembly. If I have to replace the PSU after that, I can swap just the unit while leaving the modular cables in place.
