Re: Component identification
OP you are lucky it did not arc and make a big black mess. Those Rifa safety capacitors crack and short out with age, causing equipment damage and bonfires. Never use them, I don't know why Kemet keeps selling the PME271 series etc. The paper insulation inside is unique but nothing special.
Replace it with any other safety cap that fits.

I would do as redwire said: replace with any safety agency approved X2 capacitor.
The link was more because you asked what they are"The one who says it cannot be done should never interrupt the one who is doing it."

Re: Component identification
Is it an X capacitor or a Y capacitor. IIRC, Rifa made a .022uF Y capacitor in the PME271 series.PeteS in CA
Power Supplies should be boring: No loud noises, no bright flashes, and no bad smells.
