The large value (8 microfarads) combined with a polarity (the positive side is marked) indicate that this is an electrolytic capacitor. A slightly greater value (10 microfarad), 250 volt or somewhat greater, electrolytic should work fine. Make sure the replacement is installed with the same polarity or you will have a loud bang and exploded capacitor contents everywhere.
