If the hard disk wasn’t affected, put it in an enclosure and try copying the files off. If it was, contact a service such as DriveSavers; these can charge hundreds or thousands of dollars.

Rotating magnetic Hard Drives are almost (but not quite) completely sealed. If the drive was not submerged in water, it is possible it will be fine when you follow Niel's advice to use an external enclosure or an external adapter.
