Don't leave your SNES on for days, especially when your power supply is overvolting by 4V.pic.twitter.com/PmeNqU4V9I

There was a cap bridging Vcc to ground. I don't know if burning that out would break the circuit or connect it, but if it's the latter it would be a short. Which is what this would look like.
It's unlikely a cap would fail with a low enough resistance to make the connector the place where most of the heat is dissipated instead of the capacitor. Usually they capacitor will leak or violently blow up first. It's likely you had an issue in the connector to begin with.

That could well be. Regardless I'd like to replace it. I think a standard 9V1A would work fine too so long as I put it before the regulator

Yeah, 9V should be fine. Just make sure you get the right polarity. You might want to cut traces & swap to the more usual center positive.
