 When a comment is in the trash, WordPress does not allow you to edit its
 details without restoring it first. After restoring the comment, it
 disappears from the Trash and the user is then required to locate it
 either by memorizing the post it's on or searching for it in the backend.
 It doesn't show up on the approved comments page because of its original
 published date.

 I suggest that if a single comment is restored, it takes users to the post
 it's on. Even better would be taking the user straight to where the
 comment is in the Discussions meta box. However, since users can hide this
 meta box via the screen options, I'm unsure how to account for that.

 Perhaps redirecting users to the post where the comment is displayed is
 enough?
