Yep - you need it there since the battery is so close to the output of the turbocharger and the exhaust downpipe (both of which get REALLY REALLY hot).
It also holds the battery down.
Basically if you're driving and the plastic case of the battery would touch the turbo or elbow to the downpipe, it'll melt a hole right through it. Then, you have a problem... battery acid, no battery, and car won't run any more.
So -- advice would be to fix it... grab one from a junker or off ebay. You'll probably think, what is this piece of crap looking thing? Is this actually made by Saab? They aren't pretty, but they work, by the way.
