They could be damaged. Only ways to tell would be to test the capacitance with a multi meter an to try them properly.

When you say damaged, do you mean they would have slightly less capacitance or would they explode. They are over spec’d anyway so I can live with slightly less capacitance.

They may be damaged internally and might not perform as expected. If they were going to explode, that was probably going to happen when they were backwards.
It is also quite possible that nothing happened if the circuit could not overcome the bias of the capacitor.
