It looks like it may be a transformer. Doorbells use them quite often.

Should add it is probably double-tapped to one of the 15A lighting circuit breakers. If so, you may want to see if that's permissible in your area.

Probably a transformer, but could also be a surge protector. Kinda small, I think, but it could be. Hard to tell from the pic.

A little enhancement clears it up.
Not that I can spell terminal.

It's just your chime transformer.

A common sight on surface mounted panels.
