What is it? Do I need to remove it for reflow?
I think that it's a thermistor. It _looks_ exactly like this one:

Since it's soldered in, it should be OK for reflow.

Huh.. learn something new every day. Never saw a thermal resistor in that package, but it sure looks like the one in the link.
It seems the board has a conformal coating on it. When resoldering a board like this, it's much easier to accomplish with the coating off.
