Yes it is normal. If you have a look at
http://fa.utfs.org/diy/korg_monopoly/monopoly_open_full.jpg
you can see a longish horizontal pcb on the rear side with three large
transistors mounted at the backplane. These three transistors voltage
regulating transistors use the back panel as heat sink. So it is normal
that the backpanel gets quite warm.
