It is an authentic OEM sourced item which is specially produced for use with Shimano reels. The crosshead screw connects to the right side plate and is made of metal. This is a very small part that will need to be replaced if it gets lost or stripped. A Phillips screwdriver is needed to replace the screw. This is available as an individual replacement part even though many might be needed.
