If it's not squelching and damping's working ok, will be what Foxman says, if not it'll have blown a seal.
Triads are a bit prone to 'popping' but usually this manifests itself as a leak out the adjusters.

it does squelch a bit actually but seems to be running normally, although have only recently brought frame (2nd hand) so not sure if that is normal for this shock

They will quelch a bit a the very start (fully extented) as the float fluid in the air can passes through a port from the positive and negative air chambers.
You could always pop the air can off and give the seals a clean and relube, and see if there's anything a bit suspect.

If the lockoutis a bit mushy, this may indicate an issue.

Sorry it's difficult to diagnose online.
