I have been trying to find what this gold prong does to no avail, i think its one of the antennas, be very careful if you try to solder it, as the heat will travel thru the board and the audio component will drop off, this is the little white piece on the opposite side of the board, then you will have no sound on the earpiece, i would leave it, you could end up with more problems than what you started with.
