Is it worth topping up state pension for sake of 2 week's

Hi, I'm trying to work out what I need to do, if anything, on the back of MSE's recent pension top up article.
I'm 52 in July and have 35 years NI contributions. According to my records I only made 50 weeks worth of contributions in 1990-91. I'm not intending to retire anytime soon.
Based on the above should I make up the 2 wek shortfall or is it not really worth it?

Why do you think 35 years is relevant?
What does your full forecast actually say0 -
You cannot top up that year - the NI record states that.It’s too late to pay for this year. You can usually only pay for the last 6 years.
