I have a text file with correct lines ending with a quote and a
newline. Incorrect lines are split and wrap to the next line, they
just end with a newline.

I want to unwrap those lines, i.e. delete the newline for all lines
that don't end in quote newline.

Can I do this with sed?

Probably at the blink of an eye.

Make a file, say sed.script, with the following contents;

/[^"]$/ {
N
s/\
//

Quote:}

Then do

sed -f sed.script oldfile > newfile

This assumes that all "incorrect lines" come in pairs.
