needrestart-session is not intended to be run as root. This won't work
since needrestart does not switch to the required user mode (which
reports obsolete session binaries) while run as root.
The notification should be OK if your X-Session runs obsolete binaries.
The sudo root inside your x-terminal runs it's own session.

I consider this bug as wontfix: running needrestart-session for a root
(X-)session sounds not that usefull. Maybe needrestart-session should
just complain and exit if it is run as root?
HTH & Thanks,
