Failing backlight at this age on this machine is fairly common, with
symptoms similar to what your are describing...

AppleCare probably won't care (sigh) unless you can demonstrate the
issue reliably. That means a dead backlight or visible issues when
operating the backlight under OS X.

They might ask you to run diagnostic tests using the AppleCare test
CD/DVD, but I don't know if that includes a test for the
backlight. Unlikely.
