It's a smoothing cap for voltage input to a VRM.
You can replace it with something similar, or probably just run it as is.
You may lose some stability without it.

Digikey is the place you can find it.

Grab a couple of these, cut the wires nice and short, and solder 'em on.
Make sure the side with the marks goes to ground! Wiring these backwards is fatal.

They're rather better, higher capacity, probably lower ESR, caps than were on there originally. Upgrading is fine though
