No, thats not too bad. Worst case scenario you shortened the overall life a little.
If it too hot to touch and the battery casing becomes distorted then you are in trouble. If a battery gets too hot during charging a chemical reaction can occur that cases gas to accumulate in the battery. The gas will distort the position of the various elements in the battery reducing or eliminating its capability to store or discharge electricity. Thats about as dumbed down as I can put it.
As I said, NiCADs are much more resilent to peak charging (which is effectively what you did) than NiMH.
Best test is use it and see for yourself how it performs. Don't worry, batteries are pretty cheap.
