What number is supposed to be here?

Actually now I am too. The digits all seem to be normally 5 dots wide.
Except zero for some reason.

It's a 3
I think you're right.
The 2's, 7's, and 8's, as well as the letters B, C, D, and L are all 5 dots wide. The 1 is only 3 wide, and the 0 is only 4 wide, but each seems to have a larger gap to the next number. The punctuation (colon and period) seems to be 2 dots wide with significant spacing around them. That suggests this font is a monospaced font with each character 5 dots wide, spaced 2 dots apart.
So it makes sense for 3 to use all 5 dots of width. And the one unambiguous 3 we see is 4 dots wide, placed in a spot approximately one dot too far right. The way you've filled in the 3 makes the most sense, and leads to the straightforward conclusion that the unidentified character is a 3.

I made a comment above explaining why I think it's a monospaced font with each character 5 dots wide, with 2 dots of space between characters. The 1 uses 3 dots and the 0 uses 4, while the period and colon use 2 dots of width. But each of these less than 5-dot-wide characters also is surrounded by more than the typical 2 dots worth of space, proportional to the assumption that each character is assigned 5 dots of width.

To differentiate it from O - making 0 narrow is a common way to do that

But look at the 3 closer. It's 4 dots wide. It's missing the leftmost column of dots.
Team 3 checking in!

The moment I saw it I immediately read it as a 3.

3 is the lower number that could fit there. Other numbers could fit depending on how much erase there was, but 3 is the lowest, thus the safest guess.

That's great. I could see it was a 3 but I couldn't explain how I knew until I scrolled.
The pattern that the 7 above was also clipped revealing the edge of the 3 also was missed made it click.
Neat!
I wouldn't have caught the 6 over there was clipped though. That's some analysis right there. Thorough.

edit: but how did you know that the one on the top was missing the curve?

Ah yes, the 29th of OJ

3 doesn't fit because the lower left dot doesn't match the position of the same dot in the 3 above it.
