Its easy to fix with a soldering iron and wire cutters. 

It seems to be damaged (at least the casing of it) and it may also be pulled from the board but it probably still has a contact with the traces. 

 

Anyway, this may not really be an issue. Sometimea you may lose one or two caps and the board will still work just fine. 

The issues may appear under heavy OC circumstances though.

Okay, guys, my friend replaced this capacitor with a capacitor 560μF and 16V. The old one was 560μF and 6.3V. He said me that is safe and I will have no problems. But unfortunately he had a lower quality of capacitor in stock but that's okay. I rock a Ryzen 5 1400 @ 3.7GHz and I have no problems right now. Thanks for your quick answers. Have a nice day!
