It's not a unique boat so there isn't really a good reason to disturb a war grave for it. U-505, another Type IX, is fully restored and on display at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. U-534 was salvaged in 1993 and is on display in Birkenhead, UK.

This reminded me of U-537 and the Waffle-26 that wasn't discovered until the 1980s in Canada. And for that reason, if they do confirm it is a Uboat, they should try to gather some information from it if any is still possible - not to disturb it as a monument, but to maybe discover unknown information, landing sites and other possible cases of yet-to-be-discovered clandestine automated monitoring sites/equipment that this ship and its crew left behind.
Here's a good brief article on the WFL-26 and U-537.
