Anyone as any idea what part this is? Or even what exactly is this supposed to do in a circuit?

It's part of a relay circuit.

It's a laser trimed resistor array. Sometimes known as a "hybrid". It's used where you need high precision resistors. Less common these days except in specialized equipment.

EDIT: From your new pictures, it looks like it's trimmed to 680 kohm.
