A drive that have fallen most probably have also bad heads.
Since it's already clicking, it need to be open and checked inside for damage (since you are trying to power it up several times, maybe platters are damaged as well).

If platters are good, you might need a head swap.

You need to send it to a professional to check inside HEPA 100 clean room.

If surface is not badly damaged a PROFESSIONAL (not you) data recovery firm might be able to recover some data if you do not keep on powering the drive up.

This is not D.I.Y. ...
