Maybe you found an electrolytic capacitor named Cx or so in the schematics - that's the way they adjust it. In each Electro35G I opened I found a different value for this capacitor, between 2.2 and 4.7uF, with some odd values in between. I think you have to set the camera to flash mode and check whether the shutter opens 1/30 sec. If not you should use a different value for Cx. However, a dried out capacitor will rather loose capacitance, so the shutter speeds should be shorter, resulting in UNDERexposure. In more than 20 years in the electronic business I never encountered an electrolytic capacitor with increased capacitance. I never encountered a faulty CdS cell in an Electro35G (quite contrary to the Electro35FC, there is hardly one of them with a working CdS cell) but you can try to swap the photoresistor.
