I wouldn’t experiment with such a malfunction when the unit is plugged in. The best solution is to de-energise the house, if you have experience with the electrical panel, and then manipulate to remove the broken parts from the socket.

If you close the circuit breaker can it still shock from capacitors?

Or just throw down a big rubber mat to pull then out

Not if the phone was plugged in. The capacitors would drain almost immediately.

Slightly. If you were concerned you could bridge the contacts with an insulated screwdriver or something.
It’s probably not something I would be concerned about unless this is a more powerful charger. It’s too blurry to see but even the large electrolytic doesn’t look big enough to be worried.
