if it where me i would desolder that one and leave it out even if i couldnt find a replacement it wont effect anything. and you whould just have one less cap and with all that are in there you wont lose any capacitance. if you do decide to take the board out make sure to discharge it as the instuctions on the bottom.

Gonna cost a fortune to change all the caps and if you just do one another one will just fail and start on fire anyway.
