I took my LPR off to try and track down a leak I had and this small black disk fell out. I don't recognize it and it doesn't show up anywhere in the manual but I suspect it came from here; (see photo). Can anybody confirm this?

that my friend is your piston seal and now you get to buy a new lpr piston.

That seal is a must have for your marker to work correctly, if you have a etek you can blow the noid if it is missing. And to answer your next question no you can't glue it back on.

Rough idea how much it will cost?

On the new pe markers the seal is held on by a small brass pin that they roll with a punch to keep the seal from falling off. And on the new geo2 the seal is replaceable and you can flip it over.
