How to safely boot HDD that hasn't been touched for 8 years?

I have an old HDD containing a lot of my childhood photos, it was produced in 2008 and hasn't been used for roughly the last 7-8 years. Will it be safe to just plug directly into the pc or do I need some adapters? Not very knowledgeable with how HDDs work but heard there is some liquid inside that if just sitting there, can dry out and cause the drive to malfunction upon plugging into pc and I don't want to risk damaging pc components.
