does anyone know the name of the power cord i need to power up this old HD?

Looks to me like a 4 pin XLR Connector.

I think you need to contact the mfr of the external drive for the correct cord. Even if you find one with the correct connector, I don't think there is a standard for which pins are which so it may not work. If you can't find the correct cord, then remove the drive from that enclosure and buy another enclosure or use one of the adapters that connects directly to the drive and plugs into USB. Since you say it's an older drive, I'm guessing it's an IDE drive.
