I did not find your part number but doing a quick search makes me wonder if it is an Atmel part. Can you give us a picture so we can see the manufacturers logo?
If it is I2c and you have the firmware you could set up a pic to program it.
Way back I got an early version on one of the TOPwin Universal programmers that cover just about all bases. Ebay 150763161122.
I made my first I2c programmer using a pic from the Nigel Goodwin Tutorial.

"Neither MPLAB 8 nor MPLAB X supports EEPROM programming using a PICkit 3. Look in the file "Device Support.htm" that is part of the MPLAB release notes to see which tools support specific serial EEPROMs."
Even the 'Programmer-to-go' feature seems to require a recognizable device first?
