Depends whether you plan to host a web server.

Assuming you don't it would be better to block port 80. It may be open for remote administration - the router will have a web server for admin and may by default allow remote admin. That should DEFINITELY be disabled (consult the manual or web pages for how to do).

HTH

EDIT - Just to clarify - I assume you are referring to inbound port 80 being open, as reported by Shields UP.
