It's a VGA connector, used for screens. You can still find them if you look hard enough.

Any box of cords in any basement, attic, or thrift store

Cords. A box of chords would be a radio, or a box of sheet music.

Had some VGA cords stored away for almost 20 years now “just in case one day I need them”

Didn’t some camcorders have a VGA output? Think that’s why I kept them

Probably, but most i've seen are AV. I still use an old SUN monitor, so VGA is alive and well here

I think I have seen as many VGA cables as I did HDMI ones. I also have seen many people using adapters for the two standards. So I think they are still very common.
