my case is on a glass tableYes it can damage, probably won't. Keep it off the floor, stop scooting your feet on carpet, and make sure your outlet is grounded properly.

my case is on a glass table
i live in algeria (africaWhat country do you live in?
Take your motherboard out along with psu, gpu, put on non conductive surface, boot your system up outside of the case.
Check to make sure you only have the brass stand offs needed in the case to match up with the motherboard mounting holes.
Remove any extras.
Lightly touch power supply with back of your hand, if it zaps you, you have a short to ground in that psu, replace it.
Thats the culprit.
When I got my glass desk I started getting static shock like crazy.
You can run a humidifier
You can try grounding the table
Or you can create a grounding touch plug like I did,i took a pc power cord, plugged it into the wall, and then shoved a ground plug from another cord into the ground hole of the PC cord, and then I just touch it to discharge , it's connected to the ground via my electrical outlet. cheap/free & simple, plus theres only ground plugs, so you cant electrocute yourself, which is a plus

nope its not a ESD even if i touch a wall and touch the metal part of the case i got shockedIt has nothing to do with your pc. You were probably outside, wearing something that easily gathers static electricity, and when you came back it came out when you touched your pc. Next time simply touch a wall when you come back from outside, especially during the winter. It used to be a common practice amongst a few of us tech support guys that drove around and fix peoples pc's, but most forgot about it.
its not a ESD1 moment, do you get a tingling sensation or a pop? ESD/Static will cause a pop, continuous current causes tingling
i have a m-atx motherboard theres two extra standoffs fo atx motherboard not used should i remove them?https://www.power-plugs-sockets.com/algeria/

Definitely ensure your case only has the needed brass standoffs for each screw hole in the motherboard.
You may need to create a chassis earth even for psu, or have the outlet checked.

You need to ground the chassis or the power supply. In CES countries you rarely get the "real" ground, so you can either get slight shocks from ungrounded cases, or slightly bigger shocks if you have a ground line that's not actually connected to the ground.Hello

The outlet you posted has three holes so it's a possibility that one of them is ground, maybe the middle one I don't know but you may want to look into it
It has nothing to do with your pc. You were probably outside, wearing something that easily gathers static electricity, and when you came back it came out when you touched your pc. Next time simply touch a wall when you come back from outside, especially during the winter.

Often its a motherboard tray issue, check to make sure the motherboard is correctly mounted to the standoffs, or isn't mounted directly to the tray or doesn't have anything wedged between board and tray.

It is not something to be taken lightly, its best to remove the board and check it.
Make sure the board is mounted to the standoffs not directly to the case:
These things are standoffs:

Please let us know the model of the case, model of the board, in fact please just list your full part list for us.
Only if it is touching the motherboard where there isn't a standoff screw point. If they are just sitting there not touching the motherboard at all don't worry about them.
