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.
