This looks to me like the "standard" non-standard power plug that
is frequently used in laptops (Compaq laptops and & Apple laptops up
until the end of the yo-yo power supply), as well as some desktop
machines (again, especially Compaq).
Okay, so it looks a little funny at this angle, but otherwise it
doesn't really look all that unusual. My wife and I both have
several power cords around here that have connectors like this.
