It should click quite noticeably. I had a few of those wellers in my workshop many years ago, and remember the click well.
You can even feel it click in your hand when the magnet assembly moves.
A 60W iron should get to temp in well under a minute, and after that it should click every 30 seconds or so when sitting idle. Touching it on a solder joint should also make it click as the sudden temperature drop will cause the element to click on.
