I recommend not to exchange the binary as those zombie setups tend to
break sooner or later.

 * What you can do: You can copy the unit file and create your own
   based on that with updated paths.
 * Also you could add a REDIRECT rule via your firewall. That allows
   you to run Icecast on non-privileged ports and the kernel is
   redirecting the traffic from those ports for you.¹

¹ Depending on the complexity of your setup, if you perform directory
submissions, ... you might want to use this together with virtual
listen sockets.

With best regards,
