Default 69 Z28 Tachometer

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but if a tachometer has been disconnected and removed from the car, and the needle does not return to zero (although it moves freely if the tach is moved around), does this indicate that the tach is bad, or does it just need calibration?
Here's a photo showing the needle at rest:

Thanks for your reply, hopefully there's nothing wrong with it then.
