I've looked up the model number and it appears to be an internal HDD.
Some of these external/portable hard drives are just standard desktop(3.5") or laptop(2.5") drives inserted into a caddy or enclosure.

If you're lucky it might be just the caddy that's damaged so you could try and take it apart and run it as an internal drive as a slave if you haven't already, or use a different enclosure if you have one handy.

Beyond that I reckon you'll be looking for one of those data recovery specialists unfortunately.
