Buy the ons intended for desktop cases, those with regular Molex power plug.

Have you ever seen the SATA drive with old-ATA-style 5pin large power
connector?

If yes - can you name the models? I have only seens the SATA drives with new
style power connector, looking like the SATA data one but wider.

I don't think there ever were such drives. There were some that had the
traditional 4 pin molex connector in addition to the SATA power connector.
Some early Seagete models I think.
