Hi Ian,
Looking at SIMBAD, I see it has a very high proper motion, approximately 0.5 arcseconds per year. So for an EPOCH of J2000 it should have a very different position.
Over the 25 years since the J2000 coordinates, I work this out at roughly -0.6″ in RA and -6.75″ in Dec. So pretty close to what you are finding.
