I recently took the bridge plate off of my 72 telecaster deluxe RI and noticed that the grounding wire was covered by a sticker. I assume this is to keep the grounding wire from connecting to the bridge plate.

Is that sticker supposed to be there?
If I were to remove the sticker and let the ground wire make contact with the bridge plate, what would happen?
Is this guitar model any different from other guitars when it comes to bridge plate grounding or does it already have another grounding wire in the cavity?

No, your model is no different from other similarly constructed guitars where the ground wire should be in contact with the bridge plate.

The only possible reason I can fathom that sticker being there is to make the ground wire stationary for the (re)assembler.
