You don't drop files onto the window itself. If there are any other Mac Computers on the same network as you , they may appear in that window. You would then drop the file onto that icon.
Note that your Mac is too old to use the new AirDrop that allows dropping between iOS devices and OS X Macs. You need a 2012 or later Mac to do that.
If you are trying to drop to a newer Mac, on that Mac click the link at the bottom of the AirDrop window that says something like, "Don't see what you're looking for?" That will allow you to put the newer Mac into Legacy AirDrop mode. You should then see that Mac on your Older Mac's AirDrop window.
Again, you will not be able to AirDrop to or from an iPhone or iPad using that Mac.
