I’ve experienced that with my K-7 and maybe even the k-5 but not with the k-3, although I have only about 1500 clicks on the K-3 shutter. With the K-7 it was a precursor to a mirror motor problem, but I’m quite sure I also experienced it as a one-time thing with the K-5. You’ve only had the camera for about a week I believe. Don’t know the policy of your seller, but if I had a problem like that with a camera purchased from B&H or Amazon, I’d be able to return it for another one. However, I might be tempted to take my chances on it being a one-time glitch.
