Now, what to do with this thing now? I wasn't able to find any software or development files for it by the manufacturer of this board, Force Computers GmbH. There is some stuff on bitsavers, namely the reference manual, and some PDOS images, probably for older…
Found it! Was there on bitsavers all along. Don't know how I missed that

The capacitor tests fine, 1uF at 100V can have an ESR of up to 8 Ohm, the legs however look pretty corroded. My first assumption was that electrolyte leaked out and turned the epoxy conductive. That should show in the remaining capacitance and loss however. Maybe the epoxy became conductive enough on its own. There is epoxy that can get corrosive with time. Would explain the legs. Maybe even slightly conductive?
I'll still replace the cap. Only got .47 and 2.2 with at least 100V rating. Don't think it's critical, I'll take the 2.2
