If you removed the glob you might find a part
number (more common on older parts, later
the companies drifted toward only a mask
series number and maybe their logo, which
could still lead to a P/N if you dug deeper or
had connections inside the mfr to cross-
reference "TA56789" to "Phillips NE555"
or whatever).
If it was a custom chip then you may be
further out of luck, less info (if any) available
due to proprietary blah blah blah.
I'm guessing that with the evident low quality
of the assembly, that this is a low cost
commercial die (because a plastic package
added 3 cents to BOM cost, over in-house
wire bond and glop).
