If none of the other 12V systems are affected, I would very much guess it's unrelated. Reverse polarity in the 12V system could very reasonably kill a stereo, but it would also cause trouble with blowing converter fuses, probably causing fridge and furnace controls problems (though old ones might be unaffected in theory), and making many things with motors (like fans) turn the wrong way.
I would tend to guess that your radio just died, unrelated to other things.
Do have the outlet you're plugged into checked for swapped hot and neutral lines, though. If it's miswired, it can lead to dangerous situations, particularly in combination with other electrical faults.
