This is normal for Accords. There is a timer that will allow the
radiator fan run for as long as about 15 minutes after the ignition is
turned off if the coolant temperature is high enough.

According to the service manual (I have a pdf of the one for the '94
Accord, I am quite sure the '95 is the same), the radiator fan is the
one on the right (= passenger side if you are in the US). The one on the
left is the A/C condenser fan. Perhaps when you said "left" you meant
left when standing in front of the car, facing the engine compartment.
If the condenser fan is running after you turn off the ignition, but the
radiator fan is not, then you could have a problem.

If the radiator is original, you might want to carefully clean the
outside of it. Rinse off bugs and dirt with a garden hose, but don't use
too high pressure (and absolutely no pressure washer!). The radiator is
somewhat fragile.
