If it's charged (can a singularity retain charge? I suppose so), it might
be affected by the electric fields in the lead lattice.

Yes, the angular momentum, mass and electric charge are detectable from
outside the singularity.

Depending on whether it exists at all - since it requires the existence of
magnetic monopoles, and this is unproven - magnetic charge would also be
detectable.

Hawking Radiation was, and I got sucked in for a few hours of fascinated
clicking and reading.)
