Hi Josh
It is most likely a capacitor but it might even be a battery.
The value is another problem. I don't know how you might determine
what it was. None of the numbers look like value descriptions.
You might peel the plastic cover off and look at what is hiding
inside. It might be a resistor/capacitor or a coil/capacitor
circuit. In any case you could see if it really was a cap or
battery.
Since it is already bad, you'll not do it much harm.

Hi
I agree, it is a coil. Don't know what I was thinking. TDK is
a sure giveaway.
