It is not an application but a system driver. I find two instances of it on my system. The main one is located in /usr/sbin. The other in /private/etc/pam.d. I believe you want the first one.

Activated the Finder, select Go to Folder from the Go menu. In the field that appears enter /usr/sbin and press Return. This will take you to the directory where you should find the "smbd" file. If you have the window open for Full Disk Access then you can navigate to the path to select the file and add it to the list.
