I'm afraid it's there for balancing the rotor. I have seen them before and figured thats what its for.
Notice that the thing even has the hole drilled through it. Its meant to be there. I would put it back.

Call a shop that does brakes and ask them.

Good luck.

He is right, that is a weight to balance the rotor after drilling. Put it back where it was and crazy glue it in.

Its not for balancing the rotor. If it was it wouldnt be just stuck in there.
