Classic chip

I am trying to solve this classic I bought working, but now has horizontal lines on screen after recap, and obviously no sound. I managed to get sound chip off and clean pads, and also the chip near the 4 47uf capacitors near power supply plug. That came off almost too easy, and a leg broke off while trying to clean corrosion off it. Can I order that chip or is that apple custom?? I attached pictures. Once trace under neath that chip had its coating come off and a bit of pad is possibly missing.

Looks like a voltage regulator.

The pin that broke off is a redundant voltage input, so it may work as is.

You can buy some here. They are $3.75 from what I can tell. These she from Israel and would take say a week or two to reach you.
