Well, I did actually replace this cap in the past, so it was a pretty fresh cap that blew up. I compared it to the ones I still have in stock and it's a direct match for them.
I used Panasonic BP caps. 3.3uF, 50V, same as the one that originally came out of there.
I tested the HOR output transistor, and it seems to test like a normal transistor. There aren't any other electrolytic caps in the area that look bad either.
However, perhaps the capacitor got damaged by whatever took out the 24V MOSFET? Maybe I should just try another cap
