What exactly is this part and is what it's doing normal?

What is the silver unit with the cooling fins on it? And should it be getting so hot that I can barely touch it? It's not glowing red but definitely you can't place your hand on it longer than 4 seconds before it becomes unbearably painful. I'm worried that its grounding out on something that it shouldn't or if that's normal for it to get warm hence the cooling fins and I can just ignore it?
