my new (secondhand) tank came with a heater, which looks to be about
the right wattage for a cold winter's night, but rather overdone for
the summer... 35 (US) gallon; heater = 200W.

Is this a problem?

I don't think so. They are all a problem if they get stuck in the ON
mode, and the more powerful, the higher and faster the temperature will
go. If you don't trust the heater, buy a new one, otherwise the wattage
is fine. The recommended size for a 35g is 175W, so round that to the
nearest value, 200W.
