canning jar leaked..still sealed?

I'm canning pickled beets. 3 pint jars and 1 quart. Left 1/4-1/2 in. headroom. The quart jar was barely covered with water because my pan wasn't tall enough. When I was taking the jar out, it slipped, fell into the water and leaked into the water. When I did get it out, the lid 'popped' almost immediately. Actually, a pint leaked also, but appears to have sealed also. The lids are not real easy to tell if they have sealed. Does this sound like it will be safe if not refrigerated? Have you had this happen to you?
