The benefit of using random generated passwords is that only the password for Facebook has leaked, which cannot be used to get access to any other place online.
Since the leak is known now and most likely addressed by Facebook ASAP, the only thing you have to do is to generate a new password for Facebook, and Facebook only. No need to hunt down all places online where you may or may not have recycled the same old password123.
Another good auth practice is using Two-Factor-Authentication when offered by a website. Such is the case with Facebook. So even a leaked Facebook password doesn't mean that your account is compromised right away when you make use of that.
You can try your email address against it and then know if your email address has been part of a data breach.
