That capacitor is for the magnetron function, and rated for
over a thousand volts.
It has been inexpertly modified, possibly including a different
magnetron transformer.
The schematic diagram for a microwave is actually very simple,

This oven MW combo has the proprietary one piece control panel that controls
both the oven and MW. To take it off will be a hassle, or to try to use
