That capacitor has snap-in leads. It’s normal for them to be that short.
They are not hard to solder. Just use a big chisel tip and it will only take a few seconds per lead.
Comment on How does one solder a condensator ?

Did you pull this off something used?
Typically when sold new, they have much longer leads, which makes soldering easier, and then you trim off the extra lead length you don’t need.
With the leads this short, it would be very challenging even for an expert to solder this without heat damaging the capacitor.

I have bought caps like that that also came with really short leads, it’s juust long enough to reach through a PCB
