Do I need to reset the loop in this code?

I use the code below, added to a template, to display random posts.

ul
?php $posts = get_posts('orderby=randnumberposts=5'); foreach($posts as $post) { ?
lia href="?php the_permalink(); ?"?php the_title(); ?/a/li
?php } ?
/ul

Do I need to reset, presumably by changing

?php } ?

to

?php } wp_reset_postdata(); ?

And does the need to reset depend on whether this code-block is before or after other loops/queries in the template?

wp_reset_postdata()

wp_reset_postdata() will restores the global $post variable to the current post in the main query. This is useful when using WP_Query to customize loops or create multiple loops on the same page.
