Is there any available replacement belt for this accessory, or is it now just a dispay board?

I just checked MTH parts to ensure the OEM belt was not available. That said in the past I came up with a solution using off the shelf belts that should last much longer. Mth part number HH-5200416 however on the new mth parts site, remove the dash when searching- again its no longer available.

FWIW, we have been using off the shelf belts to fix these. The belt is T5 pitch, 12.5mm wide 66 0r 67 teeth. We drill a hole in one of the teeth using a micro drill bit of 0.75mm diameter, and then press in the original long pin. In addition, a collar is used on the pin to set the forward distance the belt can move towards the siding gantry. The reason is it's near impossible to get a belt with a ridge in the middle as a guide, but it's not strictly required and with some attention an off the shelf belt can be used.
