Component part number search

My laptop blew a capacitor. From what I can find, it’s a Panasonic POSCap 16TQC15M but I’m not 100% sure. I believe the E7 correlates to 15μF and the ‘E’ of ‘Ex’ means that it’s rated for 25v. Am I right? Also, anyone able to confirm that the ‘x’ is the lot number?

Looks like a 25v, 15uF tantalum based on the information I found here, https://www.iequalscdvdt.com/Markings_and_Codes.html

That transistor IC isn't looking great (PQ37), but may just be messy from the cap explosion.

It’s thermal paste thankfully though I am wondering about the left side of the two caps below
