For what it is worth “[sic]” does not mean that something is incorrect, just indicates it is a direct copy of another source. Could be an error or typo, could just be idiosyncratic, archaic, or potentially confusing.
In your case it would not be appropriate, because like it or not the quote usage has become normal usage. I understand why that annoys people, but it’s done.
