Would naturally occuring room temperature superconductors affect a planet?

Say we have a planet, similar to Earth, which has deposits of a naturally occuring superconductor. Perhaps have it about as common as deposits of gold - Moderately rare, but occurs in veins as opposed to being "evenly" spread out. Similar assumptions and comparisons can be made about its presence in the mantle and core.

The exact nature of this superconductor is largely irrelevant, except it is a superconductor in the conditions it is found in, barring particularly extreme conditions.Additionally, I am not particularly concerned with how the superconducting material formed.

Would having such superconducting material in a planet cause anything to be different than having any other rare or oddball material?

Update - I'm looking more for the geological/natural changes, not necessarily changes based on how technology would be different.
