That type of capacitor was quite common in monitors that I repaired in the mid-1980s to the mid-2000s or so. In fact, common enough that local parts stores (when those still existed!) had them in stock, in different values.

They are/were called "high frequency non-polarized electrolytic" capacitors.

Because they are explicitly intended for operation in a horizontal sweep circuit, they are much physically larger than a "standard" non-polarized electrolytic capacitor of the same value and voltage.
