Physically damaged hard disk - trying to mount it

I have a physically damaged hard drive (it fell down) which has very creepy noises when attached to a PC.

I am trying to recover some data. My problem is that Ubuntu is not able to mount it. The hard drive is connected through a usb port because it is the internal HDD of a laptop and I connected it to my personal PC. Here some outputs from some useful commands:

tail -f /var/log/syslog

sudo lsblk:

sda 8:0 0 931,5G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 260M 0 part /boot/efi
├─sda2 8:2 0 16M 0 part
├─sda3 8:3 0 199,1G 0 part
├─sda4 8:4 0 884M 0 part
├─sda5 8:5 0 103G 0 part /
├─sda6 8:6 0 500G 0 part
└─sda7 8:7 0 128,2G 0 part /home
sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom 

sudo parted -l does not list the hard drive except from sda which is my internal hard drive.

dmesg

Is there any way to mount it in order to try to recover some data?
