I'm in the process of rebuilding my sliding door mechanism and noticed that a piece of foam is missing from this part. I believe it serves as a seal, possibly to protect against rainwater. Is this part still available as a new item, or are there any alternative solutions for replacing it?

Honestly, it appears to be a foam seal. Like something you can get at Home Depot, window or door seal with a stickie backing.
I found a few pics of that part on ebay. But the seller includes the seal with the part you have pictured above.
Every other source I looked at indicates that seal is NLA.
