Shake at 70-80 850

I'm sure this message is non-Volvo specific and pretty easy to answer, but here goes:

The steering wheel on my 97 850 GLT has begun to vibrate at speeds of about 70-80 mph. Nothing up to 70, and it decreases at speeds greater than 80. I haven't noticed any unusual tire wear on any of the tires, and I haven't hit any curbs or anything like that. Am I probably looking at a realignment? Would an 850 typically need a realignment even though it hasn't hit any curbs or other objects?

The only other variable I can throw in is that I have a slow power steering fluid leak, but the reservoir has been keeping full and there hasn't been any grinding sound upon hard turns, etc.

Thanks.
