It is a polarized tantalum capacitor that explodes if it is connected backwards. It is printed 35k not 35V.
I used tantalum capacitors 50 years ago and they all blew up but none were connected backwards. All had the manufacture's name on them and if yours does then you can look up what the numbers mean.

yup, a standard 50V 1uF electrolytic cap will be just fine
Use a 105 degree temperature rated one
