The Intel i960 was a relatively common embedded processor in its day. If you dig around enough you can probably find datasheets and specification manuals online. There were various speed and voltage grades available, so not having a heat-sink may be appropriate.

Measuring semiconductor temps is surprisingly complex. Most manufacturers specific the Tj, which is the maximum junction temperature on the silicon die. But, you can't directly measure that, so you have to infer it from the package temp and a fair bit of math.
If you think you have an overheating problem, position a fan to blow air through the chassis. If it helps, then you have may have a cooling system that is not longer working as it should.
