If the switch's plunger won't click reliably every time and easily return to the "out" position its probably bad.
You should be able to test it with a ohm meter. When depressed you should always show a dead short/continuity through the contacts. Any ohm reading larger than 0 to 1 ohm is too much.
Besides that switch shows a heavy arc spot where somebody shorted it and melted part of the terminal.
I'd say replace it. Just make sure the wires are in good shape and that they fit tightly on the new switch's terminals.
