Looks like a surface mount capacitor to me. You may be able to replace it, depending on the amount of damage done to the surrounding soldering pad and/or traces when it came off. Best take it to a professional and get an opinion. If it is salvageable I can probably get it done for you cheaply, but shipping costs may not be worth it.

surface mount capacitor, shouldnt hurt to run without it but if it doesnt work just replace it and all should be good.
