Yup. You can see the rating written on the can (MFD = micro-farad, or mu-f). Don't wire it backwards, it'll either pop the can, or at least blister and not work anymore.

Any idea where it might be wired in, or what it would be called on the
schematic?
The standard diagram symbol is to draw the wire, stop, draw two parallel lines perpendicular to the wire with a gap, and then continue the trace. In an electronics diagram or on a circuit board, it'd have a Cnnn component number.

Kinda like this:

In an automotive circuit diagram context, maybe it'd have a circle around the parallel lines, to signify it was a discrete component. Hope this helps.

Can't tell you what it's supposed to be connected to - on my car, I think the only part of that rear panel that's functional is the CDI...
