Hi,
I recently took apart an old laptop and found this 0.33 F supercapacitor. Can someone tell me if it is bad through the photos?

cant tell if that brown stuff is leaked fluid or solder flux ... may well be leaked fluid and the cap is failing

Thanks for the advice! I'll look into buying a new one.
