It is uncertain which type of accent Chopin considered here – the sign is significantly shorter than the next accent and a few others, but the difference to those in bars 99 and 102 is very small. Taking into account the syncopated nature of this minim and the fact that all surrounding long accents concern minims or minim-long motifs, we deem it to be long.
