It depends on how wet it got and also what the socket’s electrical connections material is made of as the impurities in the water can create corrosion which may be a problem later on, especially if it is humid where you are.
Check that the electrical cable is also completely dry. I don’t know about electrical cables but have seen the results of water traveling up by capillary action under the insulation covering telephone cables and causing problems so I imagine that electrical cables would be no different.

Usually sockets aren't that expensive to replace so it may be better to replace it if in any doubt.
