Sometimes the abbreviations are interesting. It is hard to tell without more context, but if I has to guess it is an 8 pin EEPROM for the VFD or something: ww1.microchip.com/…/24AA08-24LC08B-24FC08-8K-I2C-…

Either way, the code isn’t 4a081, it is 4a08i.

The second line is useless for determining what it is, since it is manufacturing batch traceability info.
