You are probably going to have to solder a new cable. Take off the back and see where that cut-off cable connects to. It is probably soldered on a transformer (if you are lucky maybe it has spade terminals).
What kind of monitor? Apple Monitor II or Monitor /// by any chance?
Monitor II. They are decent monitors so worth fixing IMO. (I have a Monitor II on my //e and a Monitor /// on my \]\[+, and I prefer the Monitor II with it's cool tilting screen!)
I bought a 1960s tape recorder once that had its plug removed (you can do this in the uk), and it worked perfectly when a new one was wired in, beside a dangerous power cord which was replaced before testing. So not as universal as you might think!
Or a lazy copper scrapper got to it. Had that happen when we put a good 21” viewsonic CRT out on the street. Cut the cords left the crt. (This was 2008 and yes I regret it. We weren’t thinking the way we are now back then.)
A quick word of caution from a trained technician; if you're not sure what you are doing inside an old monitor, "Don't do it!" CRT monitors have old school, high voltage electronics and will kill you graveyard dead if you mess up. There are specialized tools specifically for those repairs and still great care and respect is needed. May the 4th be with you!
I'd put money on there being a IEC 320- C13/C14 plug if you remove the screws and pry the damaged on out.
But, that cable retainer (the bit on the bottom of the wires) is generally a through hole cable mount. You could just remove the cables, and crimp in a new cable. Soldering would be best but crimp connectors would also work.
Use a screwdriver and dismount that connector, that will give more info. Maybe the monitor was in working order but perceived as too old to have a good power cord.

I think it’s a A2M2010

Others have said how it could be repaired, but I'll note that a cut power cable is a universal sign of "this thing is broken"
Not really. I’ve seen recyclers that will cut the power cables even if it works perfectly.

Of course it is currently broken, as the power cable is cut

Honestly, ask an electrician. Mains power isn´t something i´d play around without knowledge.
Ask a TV repair shop. Thry work on this type of equipment, and can make the repairs that a cut power cord hints at needing.
